| Jul 9, 2020 at 21:28 | comment | added | 5th decile | Didn't Alexander Grothendieck mention "extra parameters" as a trick, or rather insisting that one ought to think about parametrized families of mathematical objects in stead of single objects. | |

| Jun 16, 2020 at 21:24 | comment | added | Per Alexandersson | @SomaticCustard Well, the recent example I worked with, mathoverflow.net/questions/362265/… was solved by first generalizing the problem, (adding two additional parameters a and c). | |
| Jun 16, 2020 at 21:20 | comment | added | Somatic Custard | More parameters, meaning "catalytic variables"? | |

| Jun 16, 2020 at 6:36 | comment | added | qwr | Does "snake oil" count as a trick? | |
