I'm just typing in numbers at random.
The main point I'm making is that you can't make claims about my theory when your code can't even come close to my research program because you're doing something stupid with it.

I'm not at the point of testing against RSA size numbers. I'm methodically trying to research it while you're the one coming in from the top to make declarations about the potential of this theory.
You're out at this point until you can at least run numbers I can, but from what you said, even trying a 40 bit number your computer ran all night.
So from what you've said, you're out of the race as you can't code an algorithm that's even close to what I have.
It may be that you're, well, depressed at being out of it at this point so you kick at the theory that is beyond your abilities to handle, which is human, but also kind of sad.
