We reconsider dimension–five proton decay operators, making semiquantitative remarks which apply to a large class of supersymmetric GUTs in which the short-distance operators are correlated with the fermion Yukawa couplings. In these GUTs, which include minimal SU(5), the operators (udi ) (djντ ), induced by charged Higgsino dressing, completely dominate for moderate to large tan β. The rate fo...
