How does a sign error pass a Lean proof?

If it doesn't have a Lean proof, why would we bother with it? And they really shouldn't publish it! We don't need math slop too.

DSPy seems like the right comparison and this is the first comment I've seen mentioning it.

Thanks for putting this together. I'm surprised the cost saving is so little though. I expected much more based on the post.
