 The thing is that we can't calculate things in quantum field theory exactly, but only using a perturbation approach (Taylor series). The first term in this approximation to the correct result yields the biggest contribution and thus is the most important part.  The thing is that we can't calculate things in quantum field theory exactly, but only using a perturbation approach (Taylor series).
