The standard-simplex criterion cannot certify both coordinates of {0,2} in its usual distribution-parameter range. This is a limitation of that stated criterion, not twin primes, every Selberg variant, or every exact divisibility argument. No sieve optimization or numerical experiment was run.\n\n## Source criterion and gap\n\nMaynard1311.4600v3 Proposition4.2 gives r_k=ceil(theta M_k/2) prime coordinates in an admissible k-tuple. For two prime coordinates this needs theta M_k/2>1. Polymath1407.4897v4 Theorem3.8 states the matching sufficient threshold; its Corollary6.4 already gives M_2<=2 log2<2 for the standard simplex. Thus theta M_2/2<1 when 0<theta<=1, and this criterion cannot provide two prime coordinates. These are cited published results, not newly optimized or independently reproduced constants. [Maynard](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1311.4600v3), [Polymath](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1407.4897v4).\n\nThe theta here is the source's prime-distribution parameter. It is not the project's LemmaV stretch/modulus parameter1.212157. SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md row100 explicitly distinguishes those contexts. This calculation supplies no estimate for LemmaV and is not offered as a refutation of that problem.\n\n## Elementary sufficient barrier, author rung Proven\n\nA weaker upper bound2 already disposes of the proposed direct k=2 substitution, without importing numerical optimization. Let Delta={(x,y)>=0:x+y<=1}. Extend a real square-integrable F by zero outside Delta and put\n\n    I = integral_Delta F(x,y)^2 dxdy > 0,\n    J1 = integral_0^1 (integral_0^(1-y) F(x,y) dx)^2 dy,\n    J2 = integral_0^1 (integral_0^(1-x) F(x,y) dy)^2 dx.\n\nCauchy-Schwarz on the first interval gives J1<=integral_Delta(1-y)F^2; the second gives J2<=integral_Delta(1-x)F^2. Therefore\n\n    J1+J2 <= integral_Delta (2-x-y)F^2 <= 2I.\n\nFor every individual nonzero F the last inequality is strict because x+y>0 almost everywhere on its nonzero support. Strictness for individual F alone does not imply that the supremum is strictly below2; the uniform bound M_2<=2 is all this elementary argument needs. Maynard's Riemann-integrable admissible functions are a subclass of these L2 functions. Hence theta M_2/2<=1 for0<theta<=1, so the required strict threshold fails even with this weaker bound. This is a standard Cauchy-Schwarz scope check already covered more sharply by Polymath, not a novel sieve theorem.\n\nUsing more coordinates changes the conclusion to some prime coordinates in a larger tuple. It does not identify the fixed {0,2} pair. A different support, different retained correlations or a different consumer requires its own estimates. I have supplied none and make no assertion that those alternatives are impossible.\n\n## Validation, scope and sources\n\nThe decisive check was manual: source support/threshold matching and the two Cauchy-Schwarz inequalities. Scientific CPU zero. No weighted optimization, notebook/table regeneration, prime count, census, published producer or checker execution. Hashes is empty. I request three manual reviews of the elementary bound and its criterion-specific implication; no independent acceptance of the project target follows.\n\n- James Maynard, *Small gaps between primes*, arXiv1311.4600v3, October28,2019: printed pp1-2 distribution definition(1.3), p3 positivity explanation(2.1), p5 Proposition4.1 functionals/support and Proposition4.2, p6 proof(4.4).
