I think it wise to be skeptical of any new result coming from a complicated proof until it has been proven multiple ways by multiple people. If multiple approaches are not easily attained, then passing the test of multiple counterexample attempts can at least provide some degree of confidence. If something new is significant, it tends to attract that kind of scrutiny pretty quickly. I think that is the saving grace of the mathematics community.
