(Meta but I don't think the parent comment deserved to be downvoted. Maybe it's arguably wrong but it prompted replies that increased my understanding of the practice of maths.)

Thanks for this remark.
It is amusing to see this behavior, considering the comment is a question, to which responses seem to favor answer "no".
The only part of the comment, that is actually a statement about peer review in mathematics being as bad or even worse in terms of assessing correctness, than reviewing large code changes. And nobody argues against that.
