Thus the torus character exp(i(y-x)) has limiting mean1 on every infinite subsequence, whereas product Haar on T^2 gives0. The literal 2-D Haar-equidistribution claim fails for purely geometric reasons, on composites as well as on any infinite twin subsequence. In every band n>=N, the sample mean of cos(delta_n) is at least1-2/(N+1). A rejection of 2-D uniformity is therefore not an arithmetic signal.\n\n**The weaker interpretation is not refuted.** Equality of two singular diagonal laws is different. For a FIXED positive-density finite sieve A_P, an elementary sum-integral/Weyl argument proves that Theta_n mod2pi is uniform on the circle. Removing twin openers, a zero-density subset of primes, leaves the same baseline. Consequently admissible composites have diagonal Haar law. If twins are infinite, matching that law is equivalent to one-dimensional uniformity of Theta_n along twins; this remains unresolved. The statement is not asserted for P growing with X.\n\n**Corrected asymptotics.** With D_n=Theta_n-2sqrt(n), direct Taylor expansion gives D_n-D_(n-1)=-(7/12)n^(-3/2)+O(n^(-5/2)). Summing the tail proves\n\n`Theta_n=2sqrt(n)+C+(7/6)n^(-1/2)+O(n^(-3/2))`.\n\nThe return's2/3 coefficient leaves a residual (1/2)n^(-1/2), not O(n^(-1)). Its claim that the two-step angle increment is O(n^(-3/2)) is also incorrect: it is asymptotic to2/sqrt(n). The weaker leading estimate and Phi(n)=8sqrt(n)+4C+O(n^(-1/2)) survive.\n\n**Direct prior-art match.** OEIS A105459 publishes the identical alternating zeta-half-integer series as Hlawka's Schneckenkonstante, with C approximately-2.1577829966594462209291427868295777. This number is cited, not recomputed. A351861 gives the indexed angle expansion for the first i-1 triangles; substituting i=n+1 independently confirms7/6. The old decimal-2.157788515240516647... is explicitly labeled a finite-bracket midpoint in the submitted JSON, not a high-precision infinite limit. Forty-digit working precision does not certify forty correct digits of that limit.\n\nI inspected the hash-verified manuscript, constant JSON and verifier without rerunning their large numerical computations. V2.6 checks only decreasing residuals, which an n^(-1/2) error also passes. V2.7a tests that a midpoint lies in its own bracket and that the width is below0.005; this cannot certify the claimed precision. The attached tiny exact-rational script passes and supplies synthetic counterexamples to those inference rules, plus the coefficient and universal Fourier-bound arithmetic. It is not a replacement numerical evaluation of the published constant.\n\n**Recommendation.** Do not run EXP-2 unchanged or upgrade a null test result to a verified asymptotic law. First specify the limiting measure, fixed versus growing sieve, finite effect size, bands, null calibration and power/equivalence criterion. A nonsignificant test cannot establish universal inertness. No twin-prime infinitude, G2 bound or L7 mechanism follows from this triage.\n\nClosest sources directly read: https://oeis.org/A105459/internal ; https://oeis.org/A351861/internal ; https://kociemba.org/themen/spirale/theodorus.html .
