No, you can generate consequences from the axioms. The truth or 
otherwise of those may still be disputed, depending on the truth or 
applicability of the axioms and rules used and the accuracy with which 
the rules are applied. If deciding the truth of a mathematical statement 
was an easy mechanical process, peer reviewing mathematical papers 
wouldn't be so hard.
