I never took Intro to Proofs in undergrad so I tend to hedge epistemically that I'm delusional. I think what makes me and many others an "engineer" is we need a constructive proof that we know something, and making something is typically am effective demonstration of knowledge.

I’m naturally sympathetic to that too. You might like Brouwer’s intiitionistic math (which despite the name is more rigorous, not less). Non-constructive proofs are illegal in it. Proved too difficult for me, but I intend to take another run at in retirement.

There’s nothing to debate. You’re not interested in math, I’m not interested in converting anyone to math appreciation.
Even famous mathematicians can’t occupy your head because to understand what they did you have to redo it yourself
