  Understanding the emergence of a tangible 4-dimensional space-time from a
quantum theory of gravity promises to be a tremendously difficult task. This
article makes the case that this task may not have to be carried. Space-time as
we know it may be fundamental to begin with. I recall the common arguments
against this possibility and review a class of recently discovered models
bypassing the most serious objection. The generic solution of the measurement
problem that is tied to semiclassical gravity as well as the difficulty of the
alternative make it a reasonable default option in the absence of decisive
experimental evidence.
