How is that a contrarian statement? Obviously natural language is heavily context-dependent. So what exactly do you mean when you say that?
I'm not saying something just focused on natural language. I think it's true for any statements.
If you look at http://lesswrong.com/lw/eqn/the_useful_idea_of_truth/ there's no mention of context and how a statement can be true in context A but false in context B.
