Nov 16, 2021 at 21:48 comment added Pace Nielsen @JesseElliott I edited my post to answer your new questions. I personally found Cojocaru and Murty's book very enlightening. I really liked chapter 5, in particular.

Nov 16, 2021 at 21:36 comment added mathworker21 @WillSawin Whether something answers a question now depends on the other answers present? Your comment seems very illogical to me, I find it hard to read. Regardless, I meant no disrespect by my comment; I even upvoted this post by Pace.
Nov 16, 2021 at 21:12 comment added Jesse Elliott @Pace Nielsen. Thank you! In your second example of type 1, there are explanations (proofs) beyond "it's just the truth of the matter." I was unaware of the first example!! How amazing!! I imagine if one delves into the proof more, there's more than one can say than it's just being the truth of the matter. Regarding type 2, of all the branches analytic number theory, I know the least about sieve theory. Is there a good accessible reference for it? What are some of the "best fit" functions you're talking about? E.g., what pages in the proof? Specifically, how does $\log_4$ arise?
Nov 16, 2021 at 19:03 comment added Will Sawin @mathworker21 That's a strange thing to say about the only answer that gets to the heart of the matter.
Nov 16, 2021 at 7:09 comment added Jose Arnaldo Bebita @mathworker21: How would it fit in the Comments section, then? =)
Nov 16, 2021 at 6:38 comment added mathworker21 $+1$, but this seems much more like a comment than an answer
