Jul 14, 2018 at 17:44 comment added Samir Canning @R.vanDobbendeBruyn I think of that result as "anti-geometry" in the sense that it tells you Noether normalization can't be generalized too far from the usual geometric thing about finiteness of generic projections.
Jul 13, 2018 at 22:49 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn Moreover, if the Noetherian hypothesis is dropped, a minimal prime over $(f)$ can actually have infinite Krull dimension! I'm not sure what this says about the geometry behind the proof...
Jul 13, 2018 at 22:48 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn Commutative algebra is to algebraic geometry as calculus to differential geometry. Some 'geometric' statements in AG rely on CA, just like some 'geometric' statements in DG rely on calculus.
Jul 13, 2018 at 20:03 comment added Samir Canning The proof in the Stacks Project here stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/00KD uses the interplay between the notion of ideal of definition, Hilbert polynomial, and Krull dimension. I think using the Hilbert polynomial is pretty geometric. But of course it isn't a completely geometric proof.
