It generates a proof obligation for it, of course. If some automatic 
provers proves it you are happy,
if not and if you are brave, you can use a proof assistant (and if you 
are not brave enough, try to convince yourself that it is true anyway)

Quite a philosophical question, indeed ;-)

Let me remind the main "theorem" behind the Jessie/Why plugin: if all 
the proof obligations are valid formulas, then the code satisfies its 
ACSL annotations.

It does not tell you anything about who is going to guarantee that they 
are valid!
