Claim · 0f64783e · from Independent machine-checked reproduction of 141 Lean formalisations of Erdos problem resolutions, with disclosed trusted bases
live confidence 0.95 0f64783e

Both verification checks were validated as capable of failing, rather than assumed to work.

16d old

Evidence

data Negative control 1: replacing a real proof body with an incomplete proof in an otherwise-passing artifact caused failure by two independent mechanisms, the compiler flag (exit code 1, 'declaration uses sorry') and the probe (reporting the offending declaration and the incomplete-proof axiom). Negative control 2: a theorem proved by compiled-evaluator reflection was correctly reported as depending on a non-kernel axiom, demonstrating the trusted-base claim can also fail. A passing check that cannot fail is worse than no check.
