Trouble is that L. Walker never pointed out that w+1 is divisible
by w+1 and divisible by 1, and since none of the primes divides into
w+1, that w+1 is necessarily a new prime.


Hence there is no contradiction to 2) and hence no proof.


So until L. Walker admits his mistake of approving a fake-proof, we
are just going to see
more rudeness and a deterioration of math posting from the UK.


Usually the people of UK are overly polite and deem our praise on
their politeness, but I guess
every barrel has its rotten apple.

1 is divisible by itself and 1 divides 1 and no prime
divides 1.

Are you saying that 1 is prime ?
