Your question seems to imply you would be happy with this result:
((e^(1/2*τ))^2*(e^(i/2*τ))^2*tan(τ/4)^2+(e^(1/2*τ))^2*(e^(i/2*τ))^2+(-1-i)*(e^(1/2*τ))^2*e^(i/2*τ)*tan(τ/4)^2+(2+2*i)*(e^(1/2*τ))^2*e^(i/2*τ)*tan(τ/4)+(1+i)*(e^(1/2*τ))^2*e^(i/2*τ)+(−i)*(e^(1/2*τ))^2*tan(τ/4)^2+(−i)*(e^(1/2*τ))^2+i*(e^(i/2*τ))^2*tan(τ/4)^2+i*(e^(i/2*τ))^2+(1+i)*e^(i/2*τ)*tan(τ/4)^2+(2+2*i)*e^(i/2*τ)*tan(τ/4)+(-1-i)*e^(i/2*τ)-tan(τ/4)^2-1)/((2+2*i)*e^(1/2*τ)*e^(i/2*τ)*tan(τ/4)^2+(2+2*i)*e^(1/2*τ)*e^(i/2*τ))
Do you prefer the challenge of finding commands that unlock the hidden answer..just curious?

Thanks for replying; there was no insult intended, it seems you took my question as offensive. Using Prime and checking results with other resources in order to provide feedback that can improve the product is a perfectly fine, in fact admirable, reason. But uncommon, hence my curiosity.

And there are no conditions imaginable in which that result could make me happy, correct or not. And, correct or not, any product that provided such an answer surely needs improving. It's a good thing folks like you are helping to prevent folks like me from ever receiving such a result. Smile

Not at all, I took no offence and tried to provide an accurate answer. Using prime to provide feedback was not my primary purpose, in fact I was trying to write a function to handle certain integrals, and faced with that result, provided the feedback.
Im glad to hear someone else finds the convoluted result prime output to be unacceptable, since all the previous responses either described it as a fine job (I take that at face value..) or not possible to improve.
I hope that with further feedback from interested users, the design team will be motivated to improve the product so we dont have to face such a result. Till then, Ill continue to use Wolfram to check results on the prime!
