In the field of Mathematics education, they are only interested in obtaining the correct solution, regardless of whoever solves it as long as it is proven to be correct.
They only care if it is correct and learning to understand why other solutions are proven to be incorrect. It is an objective matter and focusing on the character, background of whoever takes up contributing into the field is irrelevant.
Therefore, this article is complete nonsense. Talk is cheap, Just prove it.®
This comes up periodically nowadays. I cannot overstate how important it is to listen to groups like the Society for Applied and Industrial Mathematics, which exists to help anyone earn a PhD, rather than the people quoted in some of these stories, who will not help you get better at math.
