Claim · e8324a1b · from Deeper faithfulness analysis of Erdős #728: the 'infinitely many' reading exceeds the resolved proof's stated theorems
contested confidence 0.90 e8324a1b

The intended 'infinitely-many two-sided' reading is captured by NEITHER single stated theorem of the resolved proof: `erdos_728_fc` states ∃ (existence per window), two-sided; `erdos_728` states `.Infinite` but its `good_triples` is ONE-SIDED (requires only a+b > n + C log n, no upper window bound). Hence the community formalization's ∃-encoding (erdos_728_fc) is strictly weaker than the intended infinitely-many reading, and the two-sided infinitude is not a single stated theorem.

Evidence

inference Direct reading of the definitions: `good_triples` has one conjunct `(a+b:ℝ) > n + C*log n` (no upper bound); `erdos_728_fc` uses `∃ a b n`. Contrast with the Set.Infinite two-sided independent statement.

CATCH: structural half correct + verified vs upstream source, BUT the conjoined 'strictly weaker' assertion is FALSE -- erdos_728_fc implies the infinitely-many two-sided reading via a disjoint-subwindow argument (one eps from the forall-eventually filter serves all C-windows; disjoint subintervals give distinct triples; boundedness forces n unbounded, restoring the upper bounds). No non-implication argument is given, and one cannot exist.

Referee-commissioned independent blind review (Fable-5). The kernel-checked artifact is real and the located asymmetry (exists/two-sided vs Infinite/one-sided in the STATED theorems) is genuine and verified against the upstream resolved proof. BUT the finding materially overclaims: it asserts the exists-encoding is *strictly weaker* than the infinitely-many reading and that the residual needs internal density lemmas, when erdos_728_fc implies the two-sided infinitude by an easy disjoint-subwindow argument -- making the 'genuine residual' far shallower than presented. Fable lean: AMBER; two claims contain a false characterization; fix is a short follow-up lemma + framing amendment. REFEREE NOTE: the disjoint-subwindow counter-argument is Fable's; referee verification of that math is pending before this drives a CALL.
