Knowing something is proven true is knowledge, even if the mechanics of the proof are not understood.

In maths, you go through proofs every step of the way. Same in physics, you start by performing even the most basic experiments, and build your way up.

If the mechanics of the proof are not understood, how do we know it's been proven? Math proofs are not a "trust me, bro" kind of thing.

It's not knowledge, it's belief.
