Hidden behind a sums of squares formula are other such formulae not obtainable by restriction. This drastically simplifies the combinatorics involved in the existence problem of sums of squares formulae, and leads to a proof that the product of two sums of 16 squares cannot be rewritten as a sum of 28 squares, if only integer coefficients are permitted. We also construct all [10, 10, 16] formulae.
