I’ve read about this a lot before. My gut tells me that if you’ve got a central genius with twelve adherents and no-one else, what you’ve got is a cult, not a proof. But also, it is frankly amazing to think that Galois’ original proof was very nearly lost. It wasn’t like he’d not tried to publish. He’d been laughed out by people like Cauchy saying it was nonsense. |
