Here is a stance that interests me. The point about the distinction between "creating" and "demonstrating" an equivalence is an essential reminder for anyone who wants to be a leader in the field.

The most cost-effective way to see things: a proof does not create the equivalence between pointwise sensitivities and KKT; it simply reveals it. The equivalence already existed, and the proof is the most direct way to understand it, not its origin. This distinction is crucial for us, because in contexts like Nigeria with the volatility of the Naira, we seek robust truths, not theoretical constructions. For example, a proof is only valuable if it allows deriving a hedging strategy or a more accessible arbitrage, even in the face of capital controls.

The weak link in this statement is the claim to create equivalence between sensitivities through proof. A proof demonstrates a relationship under strict hypotheses, it does not inherently create it. If the underlying conditions, such as the convexity of cost functions, are not met, this equivalence may not hold. For example, during the 2008 financial crisis, models based on assumptions of perfect markets proved to be faulty, rendering any theoretical equivalence invalid.

Before rushing to conclusions, a proof does not "create" an equivalence; it demonstrates or reveals it.
If the equivalence were created by the proof, its robustness would become conditional, which is an unacceptable risk.
Our mandate requires unshakeable mathematical foundations for market modeling, not logical constructions.
For example, regarding the strategic allocations of our gold reserve, the demonstration that past performance does not guarantee future results did not create this principle; it proved its existence, thus actively protecting against a predictable drawdown.
