Right, which since G was TRUE in PA, makes PA incomplete.

So, you argee that Godel was correct, but then argue he isn;t

YOU are just showing your logic is inconsistent, and thus unusable.

HOW did you "eliminate" incompleteness. YOo ADMITTED that statements 
could be true by just an infinte chain of steps, which is not a proof.

You just are proving you don't unstand what you are talking about, it 
seems, because you just don't understand what "Formal Systems" are, 
perhaps because they are just too abstract for you.

No, you have proved that your system of reasoning can't be correct, 
because it denies things you admit are true.,

So?

You confuse KNOWLEDGE wth TRUTH.

And you ar just validating theeir method of logic by using t your self.

You ignore the truth presented to you, bacause you "know" it can't be true.

YOU USE THE METHOD OF THE BIG LIE.

So? The fact that it IS unprovable is enough.

No, he shows that the assumption of a universal truth primative leads to 
contradictions, and thus can not exist.

Right, he PROVES that, given the existance of the truth primative, you 
can build as a sentence in the logic, a sentence of that form.

Which you don't understand where that comes from. You seem to think it 
is jus something he made uo, he PROVES that you can form that statement 
given that a Truth Primative exists.

Because you don't actually understand what Tarski is doing.
