You're asking me what the value is in knowing what the answer to the question is?

I'm being serious.

Yes.

Tao points out that without the mechanism for disseminating the techniques used to construct the proof, the proof by itself is fairly useless. It’s not like the existence of the proof directly increases GDP or human health or flourishing in any direct way.

So what’s the value?

Then Tao for one should have no issues with this release or any other release, if it's all actually about how he got there.
