Hello Stuart, 1.Is sum of every two odds = even ? (Y/N) Answer: Yes. 2.Is any prime is odd? (Y/N) Answer: Yes. 3.Generalizing item #1 and #2, Is sum of any two primes = even ? (Y/N) Answer: Yes. 4.If you agree with item #3 (if not - please argue - why), it means that you are also agree with the statement: "every even is (in particular) sum of any two primes". That's what you needed me to prove. Do you still have any objections? If YES - please argue, what of my items are wrong and why.
