But how obvious would that be in the proof? Especially when you don't know if the proven statement is not true/implies false. Afaik all past problematic Lean bugs clearly implied false. But could it be that a bug is used in a way that this is absolutely not clear?

For example, the bug could allow proving a=b if the hashes of the terms equal. And the only (hypothetically) known hash collision that could be used to exploit this might not lead to an obvious contradiction.
