So, a single over-exaggerated counterexample to a conjecture, which doesn't really explain anything about the nature of the class of possible counterexamples? Hardly a breakthrough. Clickbait.



No one could prove or disprove the conjecture for 50 years. It was considered a very hard problem by very smart people.

I don't know about you, but I've never solved any problems that have stumped people for decades.
