Standard magnetohydrodynamic theories, such as the mean field dynamo theory, have been criticized when the back reaction of the magnetic field on turbulent motions is neglected. For the dynamo, this back reaction has been argued to suppress the turbulent motions required for optimal mean field production. Here it is suggested that if the magnetic field is spatially intermittent, for example residing in flux tubes, the back reaction on turbulent flows may be significantly reduced.
