Speaking as a mathematician with a PhD, you're wrong about proofs. You're wrong about this site, which intends to promote a curious and celebratory attitude towards knowledge. Ironically, it is you who is displaying the hateful attitude that you bemoan. Please adjust your attitude, or see yourself out.
And do re-read the article; the author is attempting to reconstruct their proof without seeing it. You're attacking the students without even seeing their work. Incomprehensible.
