I think that's what I meant too? I'm sure constructionists would scoff at the steps taken to prove that every non-unit of a ring is contained in a maximal ideal (it relies very strongly on Zorn's Lemma). But I would hardly want to do algebra without that result.
I like the nonconstructive mathematics. But I don't want the opposition to be a straw argument.
So these philosophers were all like, "That Kant apply universally!" And then these mathematicians were all like, "Oh yes it Kan!"
