Oh, I hope I didn't come off as talking down to you! As I said in another reply here, the intention behind this comment was pretty narrow --- there's a certain perspective on this stuff that I see pretty often on HN that I think is missing some insight into what makes mathematicians tick, and I may have been letting my reaction to those other people leak into my response to you. Sorry for math-splaining :).

Anyway, yeah, if this scenario does come to pass it will be interesting to see just how impenetrable the resulting formal proofs end up looking and how hard it is to turn them into something that humans can fit in their heads. I can imagine a continuum of possibilities here, with thousands of pages of inscrutable symbol-pushing on one end to beautiful explanations on the other.
