Axiom of Choice

Name: Anonymous 2007-05-26 2:32 ID:nP+VYt4d

I don't get the Axiom of Choice. All it seems to say is that if you have a bunch of piles of objects, it is possible to pick exactly one item from each pile. Well big fucking whoop, what's the big deal? Why is this so controversial?

"The Axiom of Choice is obviously true, the well-ordering principle obviously false, and who can tell about Zorn's lemma?"
