I think the biggest problem is humans make too big small issues and small differences.

I don't see much disputes between deep thinkers in what they conclude and they just articulate or describe the same proof from different angles, as the foundational proof they rely on though they may not all know it encompasses really all proofs, and can be phrased in so many ways and has many ways of being expressed.

OK, I am getting dangerously close to talking about......... umm...won't do it.

*relaxes*

I would agree at times, I've been in and seen, some heated arguments, that when you get down to it, both are talking about the same thing, but making incorrect assumptions about the others choice of language.
It is said that an argument is what convinces reasonable men and a proof is what it takes to convince even an unreasonable man.  - Alexander Vilenkin
