It has been proven, so it should be referred to as a theorem! :)
Anyway, Wolfram calls it Betrand's postulate, Bertrand-Chebyshev theorem
or Chebyshev's theorem, so pretty ambigious. I've updated the quote to
include the full statement (as well as the simplified version for us)
and a couple of links to wikipedia and Wolfram for easy reference.
