I do not want to pick. I speak of any prime within the set of primes.

But this is the general reason for our disagreement again: If you pick
a fixed number 2n of the set of all even numbers, then there are
certainly more elements in the set. But I do not ask for any fixed and
picked number!!!

I am asking for those numbers which actually do exist in that set,
which make up or constitute that set. I am not asking for some I could
fix and pick.
