It also sounds like a motivating example for machine-checked proofs: if one could feed Mochizuki&#x27;s proof into Coq or something and be assured that it was correct, even if only in a purely formal sense, I suspect there would be much more interest in grappling with the concepts to understand what the proof is doing, whether it&#x27;s acceptable, and <i>why</i> the proof is correct. As it stands, there&#x27;s the risk of a wild goose chase.
