> All of the 'correctness' and 'proofs' are useful for a separate crowd, and should also be included, but in a separate section because they are for a different user, namely, for other academics who are well versed in the domain.
Isn't the audience of an academic paper other academics? Placing proofs and details in a separate section is convenient for the layman but bothersome for the intended audience. Often, it is precisely these details that are important. In mathematics for example, using new methods to give simpler proofs of old theorems is very useful; here, other researchers would care about how particular details are resolved.
