You seem to be re-defining Primes to match your own "simplest definition".

Claiming that this "simplest definition" is therefore better, is circular.

From wikipedia:

Quote:
In mathematics, a prime number (or a prime) is a natural number which has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: 1 and itself. The first twenty-five prime numbers are:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, ...snip...
Why do you want to re-define what Primes are?
