Oct 15, 2012 at 15:41 comment added Bill Johnson In a beginning course I often raise the problem of getting some estimate for the projection onto an $n$ dimensional (or $n$ codimensional) subspace, and reasonable students come up with something like this. Occasionally a really good one figures out how to get an estimate that is polynomial in $n$. Those who work on the problem appreciate the depth of the (relatively simple) Kadec-Snobar theorem I mentioned in my answer when later in the course I prove it.
