This is a good reply, but I have to point out that the Continuum Hypothesis is certainly not equivalent to the Axiom of Choice. In fact, it's independent of the Zermelo Frankel axioms together with Choice. While broader mathematics community has pretty much now accepted Choice (it's too damn useful not to), no such consensus has arisen over the Continuum Hypothesis. However, unlike AC, I doubt many people outside set theory their have a strong opinion on CH.
