This is not the complete story.

The Mathematician: Theorem: Every odd number >1 is prime. Proof: 3 is
prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime. The theorem is demonstrated by induction.

The Physicist: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 (experimental
error), 11 is prime, 13 is prime.

The Engineer: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is prime, ...

BTW, 1 is rarely considered a prime number. Furthermore: I say that it
is not a prime number!

Please argue against this.

Please do it. Really. We need to shift this thread to an off-topic realm
in order to shut it down.
