The motivation section should be changed. The thing really comes from applying tensor and hom in topology. I'll update it sometime.

The term "Canonical" and more so the term "natural" are used loosely outside of category theory, but since the context here is category theory, shouldn't these be unquoted and made into links, as would be standard for any technical terms? MotherFunctor 04:42, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to add a comment that R⁰F(A)=F(A) and L₀F(A)=F(A), because it's not obvious from the definitions, so it's confusing to beginners. At least, it confused me. I'm new to editting wiki, though, so I'm posting here first to give others a chance to flame me in a less public arena. Adam1729 03:51, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
