The scale-dependence of the nucleon-nucleon interaction, which in recent years has been extensively analysed within the context of chiral effective field theory, is, in fact, inherent in any potential models constrained by a fit to scattering data. A comparison between a purely phenomenological potential and local interactions derived from chiral effective field theory suggests that--thanks to the ability to describe nucleon-nucleon scattering at higher energies, as well as the deuteron momentum distribution extracted from electro-disintegration data--phenomenological potentials are best suited for the description of nuclear dynamics at the scale relevant to neutron star matter.
