Another thing that kind of irked me was this section: >This conspiracy among prime numbers seems, at first glance, to violate a longstanding assumption in number theory: that prime numbers behave much like random numbers... I was under the impression that Ulam's Spiral was a much earlier indication (1960s) that primes weren't really as random as we thought. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulam_spiral https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulam_spiral
