-<blockquote>However, there is another way of justifying the introduction of a new concept into mathematics. Instead of looking at the ''actual'' history of that concept, one can look at a ''fictitious'' history. If you can tell a plausible story about why a concept ''might have been'' invented, then that is sufficient to make it seem reasonable.
