You probably want to do something to escape those underscores.
I’m troubled by your use of the word “proved.”
That’s a standard sense of the word ‘proved’, which is usually identifiable by its lack of a direct object. It just means that something turned out that way, or the evidence points that way.

My complaint is twofold: first, I don’t think the evidence points that way, and second, I would prefer them saying the evidence pointed that way to them using a stronger phrase.

But that’s not what that means—it’s not very strong. If I say, “My search proved fruitful”, then I’m not saying anything particularly strong—just that I found something. Saying “that proved unlikely to work” just means “based on , I’ve observed that it’s unlikely to work”. can be a search, some research, an experiment, or anything of that sort.
Note that this sense of “proved” does not even need to imply a particular conclusion—“The experiment proved inconclusive”.
This is more similar to the use of “proof” in baking or alcohol than the use of “proof” in geometry or logic.

Thanks, I noticed and fixed that.
