| Apr 11, 2010 at 9:24 | comment | added | Colin Reid | I agree that it's a very interesting feature of finite simple groups that their outer automorphism groups are so small, and the 'exceptional' automorphisms are also interesting. What I meant was that if one is proving some general and fairly crude statement about finite groups, it's often not very enlightening for the reader to see a classification trawl in the proof, especially if it is one that has been repeated several times in the existing literature. | |
