I'll grant that.

Agreed.

Attaching significance to invariants is an effort to recognize what, because
of its form or colour or meaning or otherwise, is important or significant
in what is only trivial or ephemeral. A simple instance of failing in this
is provided by the poll-man at Cambridge, who learned perfectly how to
factorize a^2 - b^2 but was floored because the examiner unkindly asked for
the factors of p^2 - q^2 .
