One time when I was still a sophomore a friendly professor shared a story how one of his colleagues had a math paper accepted, and found an error in the proof only after it was published. So he had another paper in that journal next, with the refutation of his earlier work. And that feat was worth double the point score awarded to the institute by the scientific powers that be. I'm sure the excuse is that errors in math papers these days don't have the same kind of impact as mistakes in, let's say, medicine. Later on my guess was that this will change when we will have a editor software that is easy to use, wysiwyg, renders math texts as well as latex, and actually the edited document is integrated with the formal proof, beneath the fancy elegant phrases and formulas. Then I quit a job and enrolled for phd studies but that's another story.
