I don't have an example. I refuse to check by example.

But I do know that in mathematics, proof is more important than
examples.

Your failure to find a non-trivial factor can be because of many
things, which don't affect a mathematical proof.

My suggestion for those who wish to disagree with the SFT is to find
some reason for why it would do as you claim.

I'm looking for mathematical proof here.

No matter how many examples are given, they don't prove.
