A sentence, specifically a statement or proposition, cannot be both
illogical
and true (or false). As far as I know, nobody has shown this to be false,
not
even Plato or Andreas. Illogical utterances cannot be truth value
candidates
since they possess no identifiable truth conditions. We don't know what in
the
world would count as a verification or a falsification of the statement.
But Walter, I did show this a few days ago. The sentence was both illogical
and true.
