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?

@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".

@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.
Question: 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...
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.
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).
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.
