Right. In the language of the article, if p is a whole number whose digits end in the number 2 then all numbers after it ending in the digits 0 or 2 are not prime. It’s a seemingly weak statement but it says a much stronger thing about the primes than the hypothesis of the article.
Anyway, just trying to react in tone to calling any number an “alien”. I think of numbers as being outside the realm of words like alien - I don’t even know what that would mean for a number. Hence my comment is hyperbole hinting at my love of mathematics. To me, it really is a beautiful area of study. Wish I could do it more.
