We've gone from "not cryptologically proven" to "you've never seen proof".
Please don't state fiction as fact. For RSA, the proof has been around for
several year's. Back then, it was large prime numbers which appears to be true
today but very large.
There's a huge difference between "supposed to be" and what you said. "Supposed
to be" is where I researched this year's ago but did not know if it was still
current. Apparently you don't have any basis for your claims except for a WSAG.

Do you have any basis to guess it's not provable or that they are not uniquely
paired? They are supposed to be uniquely paired.
