At first I read

> The similar sequence that chooses the largest instead of smallest prime that divides 1 plus the product of the previous terms avoids an infinite number of primes.

as saying that it avoids having an infinite number of primes in the sequence (i.e. that the sequence itself contained a finite number of distinct primes), but it's actually that there's an infinite number of primes not present in the sequence.

Fascinating sequence, good article, thanks!

Oh thanks, I read it that way too.
