It is interesting, though, that a portion of the article is dedicated to discussing how it's important to make the proof simpler and more generally available. Although machine-verifiability is surely a good goal, it can't replace humans being able to comprehend the proofs as well. In this world where proof can all be verified, we may be more confident in our mathematical knowledge, but we'll also be unable to generate new knowledge.
