intuition about the "section after base-change" for flat descent and exactness of the Amitsur complex
Suppose $A \rightarrow B$ is a faithfully flat map of rings. Then the Amitsur complex is exact:
$0 \rightarrow A \rightarrow B \rightarrow B \otimes_A B \rightarrow \dots$
(the second map is $id \...

Flatness of "derived local system sheaves"
Let $f: Y\longrightarrow X$ be a smooth proper map of smooth proper schemes over $\mathbb{Q}$, and let $\mathcal{F} = R^1_\text{ét}\overline{f}_*\mathbb{Q}_p$ denote the derived pushforward of $\...
