clarified Malyutin statement

| Mar 23, 2018 at 13:08 | comment | added | Igor Rivin | @HRJW I am not sure what to believe (though I tend to agree with your point of view, as you probably know), which is why I am thinking of how to design an experiment, hence the question... | |
| Mar 23, 2018 at 8:54 | comment | added | HJRW | Could you clarify what you assert that Malyutin's paper actually says? There seems to be a typo in your first sentence. But a quick glance suggests that he only proves that "a random prime knot ... is not generically hyperbolic" conditional on various other conjectures. Surely one might equally believe that a random prime knot is generically hyperbolic, but that the other conjectures are false? | |
