Abstract
We study non-supersymmetric minima in N_f=N_c SQCD conjectured by Intriligator, Seiberg and Shih (ISS). We show that the existence of such minima depends on the signs of three non-calculable parameters and that no evidence can be inferred by deforming the theory. We illustrate this by demonstrating that the conjectured minimum is destabilized in a different deformation of N_f=N_c SQCD. We also comment briefly on the phenomenological consequences of this instability.
