What survived
- Any RH proof needs a step that provably fails when the Euler product is deleted — Davenport–Heilbronn/Epstein show functional equation plus growth plus Dirichlet expansion is insufficient, so multiplicativity must enter inferentially, not decoratively.
- Formal Euler product is also insufficient: Beurling systems with Euler products and good PNT error terms have far-off zeros, so the proof must use the integrality/commensurable discreteness of the prime set (log p, cyclotomic torsion) and break when that is relaxed.
- RH must be secured as full-cone Weil positivity obtained from a structural cause (an index/self-intersection inequality), not an inequality checked on a subcone or term by term; the Hilbert–Pólya 'self-adjoint operator' framing is secondary and arguably a category error.
