Jun 11, 2015 at 13:19 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | @ketil Tveiten: Big or small, I feel responsible for what I write, so if I cite something incorrect, or cite it incorrectly, this is my fault. So I try at least to fully understand everything I cite. Including the proofs, of course. | |
Jun 10, 2015 at 9:54 | comment | added | Ketil Tveiten | @AlexandreEremenko: you mean it's bad practise to use any "big theorem" as a black-box unless you understand its proof? That sounds rather restrictive, the "biggest" theorems usually have very hard and complicated proofs. (To clarify: I agree with your sentiment, but not encoding it as a rule.) | |
Jun 9, 2015 at 11:46 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | @cody: Yes, I suppose so. Of course I may forget something but I believe at the time when I cited I knew the proof of what I cited. | |
Jun 8, 2015 at 14:47 | comment | added | cody | @AlexandreEremenko: You know the proofs of all the results you've ever used? I find that quite hard to believe. | |
Jun 6, 2015 at 6:24 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | There is a great difference between a theorem and a result of a clinical trial. A theorem, when stated, you can try to prove yourself. The good rule is to use ONLY the results whose proof you know, no matter published or not. | |

Jun 3, 2015 at 10:57 | comment | added | Vince Vatter | I agree with the sentiment that access is not nearly as important as correctness, but question the assertion that correctness is synonymous with "refereed". Refereed or unrefereed, I would be very hesitant to rely on a new result unless I either understood the proof myself or was convinced that the community felt certain about it. | |
Jun 3, 2015 at 6:55 | comment | added | Beni Bogosel | Usually, if you cite a result, or a paper, you have access to it, and you can check the proof of the result to see if it is right or not. | |
