That is exactly how I estimated it.

But when I think about it, it is the wrong way to estimate it. Because you've eliminated all of the most common causes of those numbers not being prime, so the density of primes in that set should be expected to be massively higher than normal.

If I thought about it, I could come up with a much better estimate. But it would take some thought.
