The numbers are essential, because Gödel Incompleteness is
about number theory.

The Gödel Theorem involves a proof in which a certain number,
the "Gödel number" that may be called G, is asserted to have
a number-theoretical property.

An example of a number-theoretical property is "25 is a perfect
square". Except we need it in more formal language.

Gödel discovered that you can encode statements of number theory as
integers, and manipulate them (e.g. do derivation) by arithmetic.

Then it became obvious that whether or not a formula is a theorem
is a property of its Gödel number: a number-theoretical property.

There are theorem-numbers and non-theorem-numbrers.

The Gödel sentence says somethng like "The Gödel number
calculated by the expression G is not a theorem-number."

But G turns out to be the Gödel number of that very sentence
itself.

I'm not making an argument; I'm suggesting a way of choosing
an alternative word, since "tautology" is taken.

So you are saying every expression in a certain language
is proven true, so that its syntax admits no false sentences?

What language is that, and what are examples? What happens
when you try to make a false sentence?

Is it possible to utter conjectures which later turn out false;
and if so, then what happens?

But anyway, your intellectual track record shows that you couldn't prove correct
your way out of a wet paper bag.

This is entirely relevant.

You've never proven anything and never will.

That contradicts your above claim that "I could simply prove ...".

All evidence points to: no, you couldn't.

The existing definition of "tautology" doesn't have these issues.
