  The Prime Numbers are well-known for their paradoxical stand regarding
Benford's Law. On one hand they adamantly refuse to obey the law of Benford in
the usual sense, namely that of a normal density of the proportion of primes
with d as the leading digit, yet on the other hand, the Dirichlet density for
the subset of all primes with d as the leading digit is indeed LOG(1 + 1/d). In
this article the superficiality of the Dirichlet density result is demonstrated
and explained in terms of other well-known and established results in the
discipline of Benford's Law, conceptually concluding that prime numbers cannot
be considered Benford at all, in spite of the Dirichlet density result. In
addition, a detailed examination of the digital behavior of prime numbers is
outlined, showing a distinct digital development pattern, from a slight
preference for low digits at the start for small primes, to a complete digital
equality for large primes in the limit as the prime number sequence goes to
infinity. Finally an exact analytical expression for the density of the
logarithms of primes is derived and shown to be always on the rise at the macro
level, an observation that is also confirmed empirically.
