I claim that our problem P=NP is different than the RH, since there is no “one bad apple” behavior. My point is simple: There is a huge variance in the potential answers to the question: Does P equal NP? It’s not simple. Equal, not equal, Equal, not equal. There are an infinite number of possibilities.
