| Nov 28, 2019 at 22:45 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | Note Dmitri Krachun's response. He (I'm guessing at the pronoun) addresses the potential ambiguity and considers the two immediate readings. His response can invite the poster to clarify and rewrite, and in a collegial fashion. I prefer his response to those of the closers: it encourages community. For this, I give him one of my few upvotes. Gerhard "Shouldn't We All Encourage Community?" Paseman, 2019.11.28. | |
| Nov 28, 2019 at 22:40 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | @Gerry, most likely both. There are cases where the closers err on the side of caution regarding a non optimally worded question and do not consider the possibility that a better reading is so close by. In many cases, I see the missed opportunity: sometimes I react, sometimes I comment, and in rare cases I edit. This is the first case where I object.

| Nov 28, 2019 at 18:17 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | I believe those voting to close have misread the question. Fix k, and ask if the map (1+kx) sends infinitely many primes to (possibly other) primes. This is a reasonable research question. Gerhard "Is Voting To Reopen This" Paseman, 2019.11.28. | |
