Plus the fact that a "proof of correctness" is a mathematical proof that something is "logically true".
The trouble is that science, the study of the real world, has no concept of a proof of correctness - all it knows is proofs of incorrectness, and by implication "well, it's probably correct because we haven't proved it false".
A proof of correctness, BY DEFINITION, must instantly be worthless immediately you try to apply it to a real-world, or scientific, problem.
