For the arguments in favor of Freiling's axiom, I have to refer you
to his paper

"Axioms of Symmetry: Throwing Darts at the Real Number Line" by Chris
Freiling. Journal of Symbolic Logic, March 1986.

I only remark that his idea was that we have intuitions about the real
numbers specifically, as well as about sets in general.
