- A brief remark: I do know that the consistency of ZFC is itself open
- to doubt. I agree that one can equally well start working in NF with
- faith in one's heart as we already can in ZFC. But to start working
- in NF, we must give up the Axiom of Choice; this is the real problem
- from my standpoint. I have other reasons for doubting the naturalness
- of NF (but not of NFU) which are not ready for publication.
