I note that it is always the same online pundits (even if they are distinguished academics) who push anything new.

Meanwhile Wiles and Perelman stayed offline and solved real problems.



I don't necessarily think engaging in the personalities is interesting, but I'm struggling to see what is the beef here. Is it personalities? Pure vs applied math? Or AI?

I asked about Wiles, because others frequently run into issues while formalizing.
