Andrew Curran shares a slide from Terence Tao's "Math 2.0" public lecture at Caltech the previous evening. He says that if a cure for Stage 4 cancer worked, patients would consider human understanding of its mechanism irrelevant.

This is a slide from Terence Tao's 'Math 2.0' public lecture yesterday evening at Caltech. I am highly confident that, if the cure actually worked, almost any Stage 4 cancer patient would tell you that human comprehension of its mechanism is completely irrelevant to them.
