I see a bunch of problems with it 1 . Statements can be true or false , but how is a thing true or false ? Would that mean fake or counterfeit ? For example , true diamonds vs false diamonds ? 2 . Statements can be true or false or nonsense or none of the above . edit A sentence like , Blue Sundays breathe the chocolate of insolent chairs is nonsense . Similarly , I now pronounce you man and wife is not true , false , or nonsense . It ' s a performative utterance . 3 . But it can also be true that a thing is false . Yes , there ' s no problem here except maybe the but . The sentence two plus two equals five if false . And so the sentence The sentence two plus two equals five is false is true . <| sep |> Can ' t they just run through a proxy to bypass this ?
