Description
We show that the latest and very precise dispersive data analyses require a large and very unnatural fine-tuning of the 1/Nc expansion at Nc=3 if the f0(600) and K(800) light scalar mesons are to be considered predominantly qq states, which is not needed for light vector mesons. For this, we use scattering observables whose 1/Nc corrections are suppressed further than one power of 1/Nc for qq or glueball states, thus enhancing contributions of other nature. This is achieved without using unitarized ChPT, but if it is used we can also show that it is not just that the coefficients of the 1/Nc expansion are unnatural, but that the expansion itself does not even follow the expected 1/Nc scaling of a glueball or a qq meson.
