It means that the correctness properties that were formally proved are not necessarily what you would intuitively understand as "correct". E.g. you can formally prove that a buggy factorial(n) always outputs (n - 1)! by incorrectly defining what you want to prove. The function behaves according to what you proved, it's just not the expected behaviour. |

0: Strictly speaking, even those are only English-language descriptions of formal properties, and you still need to worry about whether the formalization actually means what you think it means.
