quantum electrodynamics - How can an asymptotic expansion give an extremely accurate predication, as in QED?


What is the meaning of "twenty digits accuracy" of certain QED calculations? If I take too little loops, or too many of them, the result won't be as accurate, so do people stop adding loops when the result of their calculation best agrees with experiment ?! I must be missing something.
