The submission title is editorialized. These aren't really foundational controversies. They are controversies about particular proofs or theorems. Even in the case of Fukaya's work, which is dramatized a bit by Quanta Magazine, there were decades of prior work in symplectic geometry that would have been unaffected by the incorrectness of Fukaya's proof.

[Edit: I see that the title has been changed to be more reasonable.]
