Only problem is people tend to build whole theories and conclusions out of assumptions, and their assumptions could be wrong.
Mathematics only shows you deductions that could be make out of initial axioms and rigid rules. It doesn't mean the assumptions you made while forming axioms or the rules itself are right.
Having said that being mathematical increases your chances of arriving at the right results.

There's just “provable” (in a theory) and “true” (in a model of a theory). Furthermore, a statement that's true in one model might not be true in another.
