The main issue is the X + Y = Trope problem. For example, sometimes a trope is cut because it was basically X + Y = Trope, but there was no \"greater implication\" offered for why it existed beyond that. So it was deemed NotATrope.

So, to summarize, this page essentially tries to circumvent \"NotATrope\" by saying that the pattern/stereotype IS the trope.
