Suppose that you claim a mate in n.  In what way will you prove it?

I will take an opponent position with a different result.  You will have to
prove it is unreachable.

There is no way to do that without solving the nodes of the tree.

Consider some mate in n claim that you make.  I show you a game between two
superGM's that follows a different path.  You will have to prove that each of
the nodes is unreachable by an opponent.

There is no way to do that without solving the nodes of the tree.

It seems very clear to me.
