One can argue on the same basis that QM is broken because it's not compatible with GR on large scales.
The reality is that neither GR or QM (or QFT to be more precise) are "broken" theories, they are incomplete theories which is not the same thing. Both have been stunningly successful at the scales at which they operate.
Consider Newtonian theory of gravitation. It is an incomplete theory and an approximate solution to GR yet it is far more extensively used in celestial mechanics than GR. Clearly it is not a broken theory.
As mentioned previously I'd like to study the mathematics behind the idea.
