 OK, not to start anything here :-)  .. BUT!!!  Let's go through your 
logic again!!! 

You say -> "Supply does not affect demand" 
... and that "If demand remains constant and supply increases, then 
prices come down" 
... and that "Lower prices increase demand" 

I don't want to get into the a formal logic proof resulting in Q.E.D, 
but here goes the simplified version... 

Assume that demand remains constant and supply increases.  By your own 
statement, prices come down.  In such a scenario, again by your own 
statement, this will increase demand, due to lower prices.  This 
contradicts your original statement that supply does not affect 
demand, since we began with the assumption that supply increases. 
Thus, there must be some correlation between supply affecting demand! 

Don't make me break out prolog!!!!  Just kidding :-P
