:-). I agree. Sure constructive proofs are sometimes longer, but it's the computer doing most of the work. But you also end up with proofs that are much, much

:-). I agree. Sure constructive proofs are sometimes longer, but it's the computer doing most of the work. But you also end up with proofs that are much, much shorter. I guess it's all about the degree of uncertainty. Constructive mathematics reduces the degree of uncertainty, which grows exponentially as you get in the higher level proofs.
