DeVliegendeHollander post didn't speak about short truths but about all truths.
If we're talking about all truths, then a finiteness argument shows we can never get all truths, no need for Godel. Godel shows that given infinite computing power, we still can't generate all truths, which seems irrelevant to the question.
If we can prove all truths smaller than the size of the universe, that would be pretty good, and it isn't ruled out by Godel.
