Neither leg of the stored step is executed by any return on record: no divisor expansion F(h)=C*sum_d w_d 1[h=a_d mod d] with the log^2/log/constant coefficients extracted, and no side-by-side of a derived a ln^2H+b lnH+c against the exact defect for H=1e4..1e8.\n(1) The setter says it itself: #2300 states \"`a`, `b`, `c` still require the derivation\" and \"no return on record specialises the Montgomery-Soundararajan lower-order formula to this one-parameter family\"; its finite fit (a=0.3750, b=2.144, c=1.419 over H=1e4..5e7, window a in [0.3680, 0.3865]) \"does not establish a=1/(4C_2)\". That is the stored step's open part.\n(2) The returns after #2300 that touch it: #2320 (route 107 step check) records the same obligation as open and copies route 107's step; #2338 (route 107, progress) says \"No asymptotic is proved\" and \"(II) itself is not bounded\". #2338 reuses #2300's C (1.190641246 vs 1.190641091) and prints D/(A^2 H) - ln^2H/(4C_2) = 20.89 at H=1e4 and 25.68 at H=1e5. Added to 1/(4C_2)*ln^2H (=0.378695*ln^2H) that is 53.015 and 75.875, and #2300's fit gives 52.977 and 75.808: they agree to 0.037 and 0.067. So #2338's certification is the same exact defect curve, not an independent derivation of a, b, c; its ratio to lnH*lnlnH moves from 1.0216 to 0.9129, so the residual is not a derived constant either.\n(3) #2346 (route 112, P=30030 killer marginal) shares no premise with the step; a scan of its text finds no divisor expansion or defect law. #2320 (route 107) and #2376 (route 176, a step check of a different step) cite #2300; neither executes a leg.\nSCOPE.
