Following the commentary by Amri, I think that his idea can be explained in terms of graduations: The natural graduation of $F[X]$ over $F$, generated by the degree, allows us to compute simultaneously a lot of $F$-sums without mixing information. Maybe the rest of facts can be also described by graduation properties? (I'm not taking into account trivial graduations over $Z$).
