8 is yes, but I don't have enough space to fit the proof in a post.

Easy, only relevant part: defined as being > 1

Today I triggered a guy who hates FTP and he gave me 4 whole nested comments ranting about how bad it is under the hood. Maybe you just don't wanna fit the proof.

from the explanation:

This is a famous, centuries-old open question in math known as Goldbach's conjecture. Mathematicians widely believe that it is true,it has held true for every number checked up to 4 ⋅ 1018, but since it's impossible to check every number, we can't assume it's universally true

Way more than enough to make any thing true on the interweb these days

Woosh

Oh no dude, that wasn't referred to you at all, I got and enjoyed your lighthearted humour, the comment was a just general consideration on the rhetoric I too often encounter when diving into a heavily controversial threads on the interweb; e.g. usually a rando with 5 figures karma points will suddenly pop up out of nowhere bringing up bro'mbastically that in his own singular experience the argument was true/false, therefore whatever was the hypothesis, or the wall of text of fact-checked peer-reviewed argumentation presented, it surely must be simply correct/wrong...and everyone lived happily ever after in demagogyland.
