Abstract: We notice that Shelah's Strong Hypothesis is equivalent to the following reflection principle:

Suppose $ \langle X,\tau\rangle$ is a first-countable space whose density is a regular cardinal, $ \kappa$. If every separable subspace of $ X$ is of cardinality at most $ \kappa$, then the cardinality of $ X$ is $ \kappa$.
