HN title is misleading.

Sorry, I tried my best. I wanted to mention the thought experiment part, since that is the most interesting bit. (But I'm not sure why it was misleading?)
See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40872270 - it's a convention here.
It’s a thought experiment for how mathematicians could have assumed the continuum hypothesis, and how dangerously close they came to making that mistake. It’s not an argument in favor of CH.
This hypothesis could've been an email.
