approximation with innumerably many “local” deformations (like Hopf
blow-up) deeply affecting, if not totally destroying, whatever “pleasant”
consequences symmetries might entail. Such are facts of our life, mathe-
matical and other, and the oncoming generations of mathematicians will
simply have to cope with them.
