We discuss the question of the relevance of perturbative QCD calculations for analyzing the properties of the dense medium produced in heavy ion collisions. Up to now leading order perturbative estimates have been worked out and confronted with data for quenched large $p_{\perp}$ hadron spectra. Some of them are giving paradoxical results, contradicting the perturbative framework and leading to speculations such as the formation of a strongly interacting quark-gluon plasma. Trying to bypass some drawbacks of these leading order analysis and without performing detailed numerical investigations, we collect evidence in favour of a consistent description of quenching and of the characteristics of the produced medium within the pQCD framework.
