Pure science is pure science. All great discoveries that have ever existed have been because of small, previously unrelated pure mathematical works (or other pure true sciences), which when done on their own seem to have no superficial meaning to someone such as an engineer or common layman, but pure mathematics is akin to pieces of a grand puzzle. Each piece is intrinsically linked to the whole picture. Looking at each piece will not reveal the puzzle, although solving each piece on its own will. This proof need not prove anything to an engineer, a computer scientist, a ballerina, or the mailman, but to a mathematician and others who understand its significance (among others) this proof advances the pure science of mathematics...and by that the world will eventually be forever changed.

True, but in order to be commercially successful you need customers. Would you be willing to PAY money to take risks like that?
