> But it also sucks when mathematicians, who are considered experts on a particular problem, refuse to engage with breakthrough results about that problem.
It might be a shock for you but they are very few in numbers. Most of researchers I know are always busy with something. They cannot just drop other responsibilities for something like this. They will take their own time getting through the proofs (if they want to).
> That seems like a much healthier attitude towards these new results.
Another thing to consider is not all mathematicians are from US or with good funding. The PI or graduate students cannot afford to pay 200/month.
