Abstract
It is shown that in a gauge theory on an lattice with a compact Lie group, the weak-coupling expansion of any gauge-invariant Green's function may cease to be an asymptotic representation of the true answer as . The disagreement is expected to occur at the two-loop level, in non-Abelian models.
