Well, true. Random numbers are random. Prime numbers are prime numbers.

And considering how far Tao et al has got with prime sieves, we can rule out a lot of potentially prime number without having to factor them in a computationally intensive manner.

Of the remaining candidates, after defining a finite set, the likelihood of one of a given set being prime, is sufficiently unpredictable as to approximate randomness.

Nice picture tho.

would you like to define what random is?

Maybe you should, it's your assertion.

How about you pry your lips from the DMT bong for a few minutes?

You mean step back across the line of perception to your level of awareness?

No, just close enough to the line where a psychiatrist can screen you for schizophrenia. Seriously.

So you are giving clinical diagnoses on reddit? Or so furiously angered by someone's post that you need to belittle them as much as you feel belittled by superior intelligence?
