Apr 5, 2011 at 18:57 comment added GH from MO Darij Grinberg, thanks a lot! Looking briefly at Kevin Buzzard erratum (www2.imperial.ac.uk/~buzzard/errata.pdf) it seems the error is not serious: the statement can be easily adjusted and it serves the final goal equally well.

Apr 5, 2011 at 12:16 comment added darij grinberg Sorry for bursting in into something I don't understand, but there was a MO topic about errata in Cassels-Fröhlich and it seemed to say that the Ugly Lemma is wrong. mathoverflow.net/questions/11437/erratum-for-cassels-froehlich

Apr 5, 2011 at 1:18 comment added Pete L. Clark In fact reduction to pro-$p$-groups is a key argument across Galois cohomology -- for instance even the very definition of cohomological dimension of a profinite group proceeds in this way. If one reads Serre's Galois Cohomology, one sees plenty of this. (As you may well know; the remark is for others too...)
