I wasn't thinking of bugs (your last sentence). I am coming from having never used a proof assistant. I've derived formulas for publications, but I've never published a 'proof'. Proofs are not something an astrophysicist typically does.

I think what you are saying is that if someone publishes a proof along with their proof-assistant source code, then I know that the formal computations are correct, but they may be the wrong formal computations. Perhaps the statement proven is not the statement needing to be proven.

Have I got it?

An example would be interesting.
