@tao@mathstodon.xyz I essentially agree with the cooking/chef analogy, but there is also an important consideration for that (which, if I understand correctly, also occurs in the setting of chefs). While certain people (say, like us and, we hope, like all of our students) will need and want to digest proofs, there is a much larger set of people who don't care. That includes many of the people who might employ our students. Wealthy people value fancy chefs. A much larger set of people don't care.
