Formally proving trivial things help when proving non trivial things and sometimes the trivial thing turns out to be wrong.

If I needed to cite that fact as a legitimate fact in an academic paper, I would need some evidence that it’s true.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
