A correct statement is a result. An important result is a theorem. Indeed, I must've missed the joke. They often fly over my head.
Math only has to be consistent. It doesn't have to have any relation to physics or "reality". I can start with 1 + 1 = 3(favorite example of "common sense" people when they point out something inconsistent) and other…
Theory in math is a suit of axioms and theorems and as such you don't prove it. The best you can do is to prove a statement. Also, ZFC is irrelevant to people who do not do set theory.
