It's a great comedy that we move the buck from "I don't trust the human proof" to "I don't trust the Lean proof" despite the level of trust dramatically increasing. Moving to HOL-light might be another modest increase in trust, but to pretend the implementation of HOL-light has never had bugs and it's kernel could never have a bug is hubris.
