    I just found an article about the Halting Problem.
    https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.05340.pdf

    In the conclusion section:

    It looks like what olcott now is claiming. Am I missing something? >>>>>>
    The error in the article is the claim that an "inconsistent"
    specification is somehow invalid. But it is not.

    So if I asked you: What time is it (yes or no)?
    the type mismatch error doesn't prevent you from
    providing a correct answer?

    I doesn't prevent me from providing an answer that I regard correct.
    Whether you can accept it as a correct answer is your problem, not mine. >>>>

    That is not the way that truth really works.

    The question was not about how truth works.
    It was about how I work.

    I am only talking about how analytic truth works.

    Did you already tell what analytic thruth is and whether there is any?
