Why Mathematica violates basic rules of math conduct

Why Mathematica violates basic rules of math conductOr......be prepared to explain how to do the work without the proprietary software in question. I wouldn't accept a theorem as proved just because Mathematica says it is, but proper mathematical software (and I've never used Mathematica) should be able to output...
