1) Brouwer's fixed point theorem seems plausibly false. 2) It seems geometrically "obvious" that the unit disk admits no continuous retraction onto its boundary. 3) It's super easy to prove Brouwer from the retraction result. Take that, logical omniscience! #mathsky

For #econsky theorists: When do you want a result to be more general? 1) You envision your result being used as a blackbox tool in the future, and so greater applicability is valuable. 2) The generality makes it easier for a reader to understand "why" it holds. 3) The generality aids readability.
