That’s a defense of math in general; do you know what the benefits of this particular proof are? I’m not looking for practical applications; rather, could it help solve other problems in the field? Is it an important result in its own right?
This shows that an oft talked about new technique in Diophantine equations actually works.
The excitement is more due to proof-of-concept than the immediate logical implications.
