The other primes do, in fact, quite like 2, and 9 is not in any way primier than 2 despite my previous assertion.
EDIT: Actually, there was a real point to ignoring 2, and it was just so I could carry on breaking down the factors as that seemed to be the bit that hyp0 was having trouble with. Perhaps it did confuse more than enlighten. I'm not sure.

As you suspected, it was intended as a joke.
