So with an argument like the one that A defects, I can prove that your mind is inconsistent:

"Cousin_it will never prove this statement to be true."

I know that this is true, and presumably you know it too... which is a contradiction.

I don't know that it's true.

And I don't see how this makes the proof wrong.

It doesn't make the proof wrong.

Oh, sorry then :-)

"Lucas cannot consistently assert this sentence" is an old philosophers' joke, actually.

Yes, I can.
