I mean, an application could exist where this isn't even wrong. Maybe as a "subroutine" of another algorithm that only needs a truly composite number most of the time to work.

That this reads as a joke says a lot about what application we're intuitively expecting.

Edit: Not sure why this is being downvoted.
