Apr 2, 2020 at 15:35 comment added Bill Johnson Probably it was when I was a graduate student when I first saw what is called the "little open mapping theorem". It says that if $T$ is in $L(X,Y)$ and the closure of $T\mathring{B}_X(1)$ contains $\mathring{B}_Y(r)$, then $T\mathring{B}_X(1)$ contains $\mathring{B}_Y(r)$. The first step is of course the proof of what you call Sandy's approximation lemma. The open mapping theorem is an immediate consequence of the LOMT. A non linear version of this was useful when I was working on Lipschitz quotient mappings $20+$ years ago. After proving the LOMT in class, an easy HW problem is...
