For a mathematical theory, correctness means formalizability. "In practice, the mathematician ... is content to bring the exposition to a point where his experience and mathematical flair tell him that translation into formal language would be no more than an exercise of patience (though doubtless a very tedious one)."[1] Reliability of these experience and flair appear to be high but not perfect. Formalization is especially desirable in complicated cases, but feasible only in very simple cases, unless computers help. Similarly, without a computer a programmer is able to debug only very simple programs.
