They thought all even numbers are powers 2
Is like asking if pi is even or odd
Presumably the number they are doing is less than 2 otherwise this is disgusting.

A proof of existence for any number?
"Any integer can be expressed uniquely as a sum of unique powers of even primes."
Plenty of even perfect numbers. Find some odd ones!
I wasn't asking for complex mathematics, just for the basic understanding that an even number greater than 2 can't be prime.
At least it's a nice even number.
You could say an even number, which includes zero for that effect.
