Understanding IMO is "developing a correct mental model of a concept". Some heuristics of correctness:

Feynman: "What I cannot build. I do not understand"

Einstein: "If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself"

Of course none of this changes anything around the machine generated proofs. The point of the proof is to communicate ideas; formalization and verification is simply a certificate showing that those ideas are worth checking out.
