Not really sure what your argument is. But it’s wrong, because n=4 is a counterexample. The factors are 1,2 and 4. This is an odd number of factors.
Edit: it seems you are talking about 'The number of factors in the prime factorization of n'. This is not really relevant to the question posed in the submission.

Indeed I was talking about prime factors. I understood your point later last night and it is certainly valid. I quite do not understand the original paper though.
