Very interesting article but you shown that proofs are important in the development of mathematics, but not necessarily in the teaching of mathematics.

On that subject - why do maths courses obsessively spend most of the time on the proofs when I would have thought the emphasis on the implications and applications are so much more useful? I am happy to believe that a stated theorem can be proved, but I dont really need to know how.
