It is truly unfortunate that we don't have the capability to downvote & delete comments that are greatly misleading.
 
Prompted by this comment, I have found many examples of "This integral gives me two different answers!" where the answers differ by a constant.
I have linked a few of them here: math.stackexchange.com/questions/3452819/…
However, might it be useful to have an ur-question to which all of these can be redirected?
I don't think that any of the one's I've found are good candidates, so (1) does a good, general, "why do my integrals differ?" question exist, and (2) if not, is there any point in writing one?

Proof positive that it is possible to gain over 150K rep without understanding how to write precise rigorous arguments (nor understand critiques thereof)

Are you complaining about an offer of full massage?
 
Heh. Let's go with that.

@XanderHenderson Oh geez, we're never going to here the end of that SE congratulation letter, are we? I was hoping that the proud display in his user profile would be the end of it. He's killing the letter too!

@XanderHenderson I was about to write one. I believe that would be indeed helpful and all those questions could be directed to it. One example of what Bill mentioned as "abstract duplicate".
 
user12692
@XanderHenderson I don't remember where I saw in the main site something like "This question is created for avoiding future duplicates". Maybe @MartinSleziak wrote some post like that before.

Q: Getting different answers when integrating using different techniques

Xander HendersonQuestion: Is it possible to get multiple correct results when evaluating an indefinite integral? If I use two different techniques to evaluate an integral, and I get two different answers, have I necessarily done something wrong? Often, an indefinite integral can be evaluated using different...

@MartinSleziak I know those two posts on meta. I was referring to some post in the main site.
 
Some posts on the main site contain the link to that meta post. And the second link contains several links to the post on the main which might be in the spirit you mentioned.
@Jack Yes, I know that those posts are on meta. However, the latter contains quite a lot of links to questions on the main site.
There are also post on main linking to the other meta post.
For example: "This is being asked in an effort to cut down on duplicates, see here: Coping with abstract duplicate questions, and here: List of abstract duplicates." Quoted from: Limits: How to evaluate $\lim\limits_{x\rightarrow \infty}\sqrt[n]{x^{n}+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\cdots+a_{0}}-x$.
The search for "cut down on duplicates" is:q returns 11 questions.

@MartinSleziak Exactly that. Thanks!

@XanderHenderson This is great.
 
@YaniorWeg Could you please post links without hotboxing?

I am amused by this suggested edit. Unfortunately, I think that it kind of destroys the intention of the answer (for the record, I find the answer itself to be about 50% too snarky).

@TheSimpliFire Does editing a comment (as you have done) require more than room owner status? If not, how is it done?

@XanderHenderson By colouring your username blue...

Oh! Right! You have a diamond now!
I'd forgotten about that lovely decoration. ;)
In that case, might you be willing to de-boxify the comments starting here, as well?

@AlexanderGruber Under the unanswered tag, there are 271,259 questions with no upvoted or accepted answers. If you sort them by votes, there should be quite a few good candidates.

@XanderHenderson Admittedly, the new question is asking for slightly more (they want to show that there is only one root and find an interval of length 0.2 containing that root, however the new question is completely context-less, so I have no problem closing it for whatever reason, or closing it as a duplicate of a slightly more general question.
