It appears we both need out copy of GEB. Anyway you are right that assuming that the sentence is false does not lead to a contradiction, but that was never the issue, it is the undecidability that is the issue and that remains, for both assumptions.

I just wanted to share the train of thoughts that wind-magic's story about DNA inspired in me. Namely the tendency many people have to wander about questions that cannot be solved. Now is that a property of the world or a property of our logic?
