| Dec 20, 2012 at 1:16 | comment | added | Harry Altman | To expand on what Angelo says -- we only define "regular ring" the way we do because of this property of regular local rings. Or, in other words, the fact that we have the term "regular ring" at all encapsulates this fact. | |

| Dec 19, 2012 at 20:05 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | I think the "regular" example is poor, as Angelo says, but I think there may be merit in other examples - e.g. analogies between results for groups and results for von Neumann algebras, some of which are even true rather than just "advertising"... | |

| Dec 18, 2012 at 5:55 | comment | added | Angelo | The fact that a localization of a regular local is regular is, in fact, a deep result. The fact that this can be stated as "a regular local ring is regular" is mildly amusing; but this is just word play, and, in my opinion, of no interest whatsoever. I voted to close as "not a real question". | |
