We consider Genesis in the Horndeski theory as an alternative to or
completion of the inflationary scenario. One of the options free of
instabilities at all cosmological epochs is the one in which the early Genesis
is naively plagued with strong coupling. We address this issue to see whether
classical field theory description of the background evolution at this early
stage is consistent, nevertheless. We argue that, indeed, despite the fact that
the effective Plank mass tends to zero at early time asymptotics, the classical
analysis is legitimate in a certain range of Lagrangian parameters.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figur
