Maybe not, but what is your proof?

Or do you want people to trust you?

And don't say if I had it I'd use it, as why?

Why would I bother if I think the math world is corrupt?

What might I do instead?

If as I say mathematicians routinely lie about math, and I do come up
with a viable factoring approach then it stands to reason that they
would CONTINUE to lie, but other people might use the research anyway.

That is irrelevant, since you will never come up with a viable factoring
approach faster than the known ones.


And you have a crystal ball?

Where is the mathematical analysis?

You're sounding no better than a fortuneteller, got anything else?

If my retirement dollars depend on the answer, what are you giving me
so that I can feel safe?

But then again, I might simply be unable to come up with a viable
approach to the factoring problem.

You *will* be unable to come up with a viable approach to the factoring
problem faster than the known ones.


And if I do, will you personally vouch for the money lost for those
who lose their savings?

Are you ready to say here and now that you will give every dollar you
own to make up as best you can for those who lose money, if you are
wrong?

Archimedes said, give me a lever long enough and a solid place to
stand and I can move the world.

That same Archimedes created a method of computing pi and he actually
did compute pi with great accuracy. Why don't you follow his lead and
actually find a faster way of factoring numbers, instead of just
babbling about it.


How do you know that I'm not just setting the stage to do just that?

It is a long weekend you know, here in the US.

Do you want to stake your entire worth on the answer?

Put up everything you own against the question.

Promise to give every penny you have to those who lose money if you're
wrong.


Or there is nothing here and I'm just a loudmouth on Usenet babbling
nonsense,

Nice and accurate self-description, James!

If so, then there is nothing to stop you from pledging every dime you
own to those who lose money if somehow, someway you got it wrong.
