On the topic of the electorn radius, lets please not distort the facts.
The figure given for the electron radius is an upper limit of any radius
if there is any.  The experimental evidence only establishes an upper limit
on the radius.  The experiments to date are consistent with a radius of 0
it a point particle.  It is generally agreed in the theory that it is a point
particle, there is no quantum field theory of interest to date that predicts
any thing else.  (For the theory to be of interest it has to predict something
that is measureable and they you go out and either confirm or disprove it.)
