I meant, as in the math case, that the probability of selecting a true statement by choosing one at random out of the space of all possible statements is 0 (there are true statements, but as a literal infinitesimal).
It's possible that both infinities are countable, as I am not sure how one would prove it either way, but that detail doesn't really matter for the broader argument.
See the note by JGWeissman--this is only true when considering constructively true statements (those that carry non-negligible informational content, i.e. not the negation of an arbitrary false statement).
