11. I struggled with the word "proven" and decided to take it out

I used it because based on statistics and the number of mathematical calculations, the probability of it not being true is extremely tiny. Perhaps a thousand to 1 or a million to one. Thats basically "proven" with minuscule probability of being wrong. You are probably right that "proven" is not the best word though.
