Abstract
An assessment is given of the successes and failures of chiral perturbation theory (CPT). Contrary to assumption, the leading order term is only rarely dominant. More importantly, the higher order corrections are only fixed by appeal to phenomenological estimates outside the original framework of CPT. The general usefulness of CPT is thus questionable.
