> Your example would be more akin to assessing someone's code and pointing out potential flaws without ever executing it.

You've just described a code review, which is standard practice and not controversial. If an expert doesn't understand your code, maybe the criticism is informed by their experience.

On the other hand: "take note that I have only proven this code correct, not tested it." Code review is performed in the understanding that its results are basically heuristic. Everyone knows that actual behavior trumps anything you get from just looking at something.
