JSH: Why would they tell the truth?

Ok, here's a different tack as I probe the mystery of resistance to the mathematical proofs I have on this newsgroup.

Let's say I were right, how would you know it? Would it be from poster's replies in agreement?

Or would it be from lack of objections?

If these results are correct and seriously impact results thought to have been proven such that mathematicians now considered tops in the field lose their major results, why would they tell the truth?

Do you think they would?

If I managed to contact Andrew Wiles and he followed the argument and agreed with it, and then concluded that it meant he did not find a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, do you think he'd announce that or just quietly consider it?
