I think you have been confusing them. Two theorems are the same if they have the same statement (spec). A proof is not a theorem, nobody cares about when two proofs are the same or not.


Yes, and if you have the wrong theorems, the proof doesn't matter. Verification vs validation. Proofs solve verification, but the hard problem of validation remains.

Agreed.
