Maybe it took some time in this case, but in the end there is proof.
Unless this proof is going to be proven wrong also, but then it was not proof.
But as I think of it, you do have a good point. Certainly when the proof is very complex. How can you be certain, the proof is correct then? Theoreticly it is possible to don't make mistakes though.
And maybe that is the difference with physics. Because in physics, it is theoreticly not possible to be sure there never will be an observation, which is going to disprove, your idea.
Once you proof something mathematicly the book is closed. While in physics there always will be an open end.
