And the quotation is not even by a mathematician, but by a cognitive scientist, so probably they did not refer to mathematics.
No "serious mathematician" (tm) is "waiting for peer review" nor do methematicians widely consider peer reviewed articles to be by default 100% correct just because they are peer reviewed. I have many times encountered conversations where mathematicians were doubting previous published/peer reviewed articles of others. That's not the main purpose of peer review, that's what some people outside of mathematics (like tweeter op; though his bio says that he is "ranked in the top 2% of scientists globally" so who am I to talk) think of peer review.
> It just became difficult for the average engineer to pursued more advanced mathematical considerations. I believe that this might soon change.
It reminds me of the arguments that now with LLMs "everybody can be a programmer" as if there was some kind of gatekeeper, apart from time and effort required, that forbade some people from coding. And as if suddenly one can become an expert programmer without putting an effort to learn just because they can prompt an llm.
Maybe llms can make certain subjects more approachable to beginners, but there is a certain type of people who act as if one can get that expertise without having to put an immense effort still to learn.
