Now if the difference actually ''is clear'', the result may be a [[Sub Trope]], [[Super Trope]], or [[Sister Trope]] of another. For example, [[Critical Research Failure]] looks like [[Did Not Do the Research]] taken [[Up to Eleven]] (and, in some ways, it ''is''), but the difference is quite clear in practice: ''Any'' lay person can immediately spot a [[Critical Research Failure]], whereas by contrast it generally takes an expert (or at least somebody who's [[Shown Their Work|done their own research]]) to prove when a writer simply [[Did Not Do the Research]]. Thus, the examples in each trope are almost mutually exclusive, despite their definitions on paper being [[The Same but More]]. |

If you think your extreme trope has the distinction worthy of a [[Sub Trope]], please [[YKTTW|check with the other Tropers first]] and to get opinions; if ''other people'' agree that the [[Sub Trope]] label applies, it probably does; likewise, if they're all calling it [[The Same but More]], they're probably right. |
