@sophiehuiberts Depends on the subfield: nearly always yes, but with just barely enough no for that to be my answer (for example there are perfectly reasonable questions eg. in general topology that work out to be equivalent to the continuum hypothesis modulo ZFC, and I don't believe there is a consensus on the truth of the ground truth of CH)
@julesh i admit, i hadn't thought about that interpretation yet. personally i was thinking about matters of which questions are interesting or worth studying and why. how someone answers those questions is core to their mathematical practice and is profoundly different between people, places and decades
@julesh@sophiehuiberts is there a CH equivalent of «The axiom of choice is obviously true, the well-ordering principle obviously false, and who can tell about Zorn's lemma?» ?
