If all EW edges exist, you’re really in a 1d situation.
Models at criticality are interesting, but are they relevant to epidemiology? They are relevant to creating a magnet because we can control the temperature and we succeed or fail while passing through the phase transition, so detail may matter. But for epidemiology, we know which direction we want to push the parameter and we just want to push it as hard as possible.

Not, quite, there are costs associated with pushing the parameter. We want to know at what point we hit diminishing returns.
