Disclaimer and commentary
for
a logic book
Disclaimer:
Some
statement in this book is false.
Commentary
on the Disclaimer:
If
some other statement in this book is indeed false, then the Disclaimer is true.
If no other statement in this book is false, then the Disclaimer declares
itself false; a paradox, hence a half-truth. Therefore the Disclaimer is true
or at worst half-true. By saying that some
statement in this book is false, the Disclaimer guarantees that it is, itself,
not entirely false.
