I would rather trust the proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic than trust the bald and unsupported assertion by someone I don't know and haven't heard of.

Sorry. :-(

I don't want anyone to trust me, I just wanted to get the OP to go to the trouble of checking up on me, since he or she is willing to go at least partways in that direction :)
