You don't have to use Feynman Diagrams, you can think about things the way
Julian Schwinger did and get the same correct answer; but a calculation
that might take Schwinger a month to do Feynman could do in a hour or so with
his diagrams. Both methods are mathematically consistent but neither gives
us a strong intuition why those troublesome physical infinities go away,
all we know is that they do and they give the right answer, aka they agree
with experiment.
