Maybe this is an instance of "overcategorification"? A deep theorem about an object X, where X is an object in some category, does not have to remain true, or deep, when applied to an isomorphic object in the same category. In this case, a theorem about an automorphism group of a field is allowed to also be a theorem about the field. | |
