I find that people who question Cantor's (obviously correct) theorems and concepts seem to share commonalities with people questioning Einstein's (obviously correct) theories and concepts. Let's just say if Cantor's last name was Rasmussen and the infinities weren't indexed Alephs, I wouldn't expect people to get their panties in a bunch over abstract math, and care so much about proving him wrong, a fraud, a lunatic, etc (without even a basic understanding of the subject).

It hits the subconscious strings of jealousy and mistrust of the majority towards the more successful almost-the-same-but-not-quite minority so very perfectly, especially when the subject matter put forward by the minority is cryptic or unintuitive at the first glance...

Just a theory :)
