I don't understand why applied people get mad when one tells them that you can't be a mathematician without knowing what a group is.

the idea of a group is trivial even for a child, knowing what it is has nothing to say about someone's ability as a mathematician.

>The axioms for a group are short and natural....

The axioms for groups give no obvious hint that anything like this exists.
