For years I've been talking about using the factoring problem to force
acceptance of my other mathematical research as I figured that if I
demonstrate my problem solving ability with a practical math problem
away from "pure math" then I can get people to pay attention to my
other decried research.

My take on responses from this newsgroup at least has been a
contemptuous dismissal of any possibility of my success.

But what if I succeed?

The scary part to me is not the world's markets but the possibility
that the academic math world IS as dumb as I've feared as if I just
trot out a solution that shows that factoring is a trivially easy
problem, and do it with ideas I've talked out over a year, how can it
be smart?

Especially if it has spent the last five years ignoring my proof of
FLT and my prime counting function along with other research?

And, um, can I ethically present a stunningly simple proof of how to
make my latest "surrogate factoring" approach work at a time like this
when the world's financial markets are already on edge?

Maybe the best choice is to _not_ find the algorithm.

That way you can claim you have saved the world economy from collapse.
