Abstract
Hildebrand proved that the smooth approximation for the number of -friable integers not exceeding holds for under the Riemann hypothesis and conjectured that it fails when . This conjecture has been recently confirmed by Gorodetsky by an intricate argument. We propose a short, straight-forward proof.
