    The proofs are written in Lean so, like in all mathematics, you don’t have to trust the person because you can independently verify the proof.

      That’s not how Lean works.

      1. implementation of Lean is buggy.
      2. having a Lean Theorem/Proof only proves they are connected to the axioms
      3. Lean is not enough to personally verify the proof. We can see that even now with the stolen C+D Navier proof, where OpenAi paper - as we know since yesterday - is… possibly false (well, we know that the lean code does not match the paper, let the mathematicians cook).
