SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the differentiability of functions, specifically whether a function f is C^infty on an open set U given that both h and h o f are C^infty on f(U) and U, respectively. A user acknowledges a misunderstanding, stating that the assumption is trivially false by providing a counterexample where h is a constant function. The conclusion emphasizes that the initial assumption does not hold under the given conditions.
