No. You can verify it but find it to be false. Your proof

I think if one says they are going to prove something, they
implicitly mean they are going to prove it to be true. And if
one
says they are going to disprove something, they implicitly mean
they are going to prove it to be false.
I think that might be causing a bit of misinterpretation.
True. If someone says they are *going* to prove something ...
If someone says I *can* prove it... well...
