Jesus Christ, so many people here who have no clue what they are talking about.
A proof of a theorem is different from the statement of the theorem. OpenAI has a Lean proof of the statement. That is all they need. There may be many different proofs of this statement, including NL proofs. It does not matter that these NL proofs may or may not be different from the Lean proof, at least for the correctness of the Lean proof. But of course the NL proof may be wrong. But who cares?
