Any statement which leads to the conclusion that all statements are false, or that all statements are unknowable, is itself false. Treating this as a basic premise cuts off a lot of bad lines of thought, including this one, early.

Downvoted again. Phew. Maybe you just tell me where I said or implied it?

No, you're right - you didn't say that. Your theory maintains that all prediction is impossible, but it doesn't maintain that all statements are false or unknowable.
