Yes, but most mathematicians do not seem to make this distinction between sturdy and flimsy truths. Which puzzles me. Are they unaware? If so, would they care if educated? Or do they fully commit to classical logic and the axiom of choice if pushed? I can see it go either way, depending on the psychology of the individual mathematician.
