Even if that were true, it still wouldn't change the "pure math"
realities.

The SFT as a theorem is unique in terms of that approach to the
factoring problem, showing that you can use rationals.

I've stepped outside of the box.

Now, let's consider your claim as the SFT maps factors, and if it is
not practical, then it maps factors in a biased way.

But assume then that there is another theorem that does not.

I've shown the concept.
