I think part of the explanation is that we don’t have a model for distance from success. We have no clue if the researchers who’ve made serious attempts on these problems got us closer to an answer/proof, or if they just spun their wheels.
This post is about experts in the fields of number theory and complexity theory claiming to have a clue about this. If you think “We have no clue”, you likely think they are wrong, and I would be interested in knowing why.
I added more details on this comment, given that someone else already shared a similar thought
