Flath did it, but he is competent. Iain Davidson is an incompetent.
You
have no proof of Euclid IP, because your logic is shoddy and full of
holes.

You fooled Lwalk, but you will not fool anyone else.

When asked to define prime number, most people would say: a prime
number
is a Natural Number divisible only by itself and 1.

Ask Iain Davidson to define prime number and the likelihood from the
above "key theorem omission" answer that Iain would give is that a
"prime number is divisible only by 1. Where Iain forgets to say
"divisible by itself"

You fooled Lwalk, but you will not fool anyone else.

Since my name has been brought up in this thread, let me enter
this conversation.

In another thread, Fred Jeffries complained that I was always
treating every argument as a zero-sum game. Someone always
has to be right, and the other has to be wrong. I'd like to
give a non-zero-sum response to this debate, but will either
side let me give such a response?

AP believes that AP is right and Davidson is wrong. Davidson
believes that Davidson is right and AP is wrong.

AP wants me to say that Davidson is wrong. Davidson wants me
to say that AP is wrong. Hence the only response I can give
that either AP or Davidson will accept is zero-sum, no matter
what Jeffries has to say on the matter.

Davidson states a "Key Theorem," and then AP calls him an
"idiot" (another five-letter insult, of course) and asks him
to state the "true theorem." So AP and Davidson can't even
agree on what the true key theorem is.

Let's look at these two theorems in more detail:

Davidson:
AneN (n>1 -> Ep (p prime & p|n))

AP:
AneN (n>1 -> (n|n & Ep (p prime & p|n)))

Both of these are provable in PA. Both of these are theorems
of PA. So both appear to be right -- except that neither AP
nor Davidson will accept "both are right" as an answer.

Then what would happen if I were to say that both AP and
Davidson are _wrong_ -- and that the true key theorem is:

Every natural >1 is divisible by itself _and_1_ and has a prime
divisor

AneN (n>1 -> (n|n & 1|n & Ep (p prime & p|n)))

Other than that, I don't know what else to say!

No quite true.

I am simply putting the statement

"Every natural > 1 has at least one prime divisor"

to AP and asking him whether the statement is true or false.

Does he have a counterexample, that I have overlooked ?
Maybe 23244554555697 has no prime divisors.

He never actually says whether the statement is true or false or that
he does not understand the statement.

He is never usually shy in voicing an opinion.
Why is AP so evasive in relation to


"Every natural > 1 has at least one prime divisor"

As I have said before.
AP has added the conjunct n divides n

If Davidson is false then AP is also false
If Davidson is true then AP is true.

n divides n is trivially true, so I am not denying AP.
I was not asking AP about a statement of his own devising.

If Archie Poo thinks AP is true, why does he deny
Davidson ?

Not true I have never claomed that n divides n is false.
No matter what Archie Poo claims.

Then you are doing what Archie Poo and many politicians do. Answer a
question put to you, by answering a
completely different question.
