In my example of 30 with twin primes astride 30 and then 2n as 60 with twin primes astride, which is very symmetrical because the interval has two primes but also the interval below 30 and the interval above 60 already have their primes set to go. But there is additional symmetry. Keep in mind I am striving for a maximum Riemann Hypothesis as to the maximum efficiency of primes. So in the interval 30 to 60 there is a possibility of having the midpoint be a prime, in this case 45 is not prime, but in another case of n to 2n have (n + 2n)/2 be a prime. Off hand I cannot provide an example of that. And should the boundary marker of finite-number with infinite-numbers such as 10^500 be an example of that situation? I think not, because the Infinitude of Primes Proof, indirect does not venture into whether the midpoint is prime. The whole idea of this most simple and elegant statement for the equivalent of the Riemann Hypothesis is to measure RH against the full potential of the Indirect IP proof. The full potential is that we end up with four new necessarily primes as Euclid Numbers of the twin primes on each end node of n and 2n. Euclid IP Indirect is silent about a midpoint prime. So I think I have captured the full extent of RH with Euclid IP. If I am correct, then the Euclid Infinitude of Primes Proof, Indirect proves the Riemann Hypothesis as true. Now why would RH escape that attention? Probably because noone saw the mistake in Euclid IP Indirect and how much it influences the rest of mathematics. But that leaves me in a funny position, for it leaves me only with FLT to complain about that it has no proof until a precision definition of finite versus infinite-number is given as 10^500 or thereabouts. When I had RH to include with FLT, I felt a bit better of a stronger case. But now it looks as though FLT is the only one standing that demands and crys out for a precision boundary definition of finite versus infinite. But maybe, just maybe the nonmath conjecture of engineering called the NP conjecture is mincemeat once 10^500 is made the boundary.
