But does it matter if it "really, really" reasons in the human sense, if it's able to prove some famous math theorem or come up with a novel result in theoretical physics?

While beyond current motels, that would be the final test of AGI capability.

If it's gaming the system, then it's much less likely to reliably come up with novel proofs or useful new theoretical ideas.

That would be important, but as far as I know it hasn’t happened (despite how often it’s intimated that we’re on the verge of it happening).

Yeah, it really does matter if something was reasoned, or whether it appears if you metaphorically shake the magic 8 ball.
