  We demonstrate that from a low energy perspective a viable breaking of the
electroweak symmetry, as present in nature, can be achieved without the
(negative sign) $\mu^2$ mass term in the Higgs potential, thereby avoiding
completely the appearance of relevant operators, featuring coefficients with a
positive mass dimension, in the theory. We show that such a setup is self
consistent and not ruled out by Higgs physics. In particular, we point out that
it is the lightness of the Higgs boson that allows for the electroweak symmetry
to be broken dynamically via operators of $D\geq 4$, consistent with the power
expansion. Beyond that, we entertain how this scenario might even be preferred
phenomenologically compared to the ordinary mechanism of electroweak symmetry
breaking, as realized in the Standard Model, and argue that it can be fully
tested at the LHC. In an appendix, we classify UV completions that could lead
to such a setup, considering also the option of generating all scales
dynamically.
