unfortunately, I am writing such a text, hence I got many.
the point made which escaped you is very simple
since negatin is universally applicable, to attach 'it is false that' to
anything shows that the complexity has got zilch to do with it
the rest of your insults are evidence for what you may guess

Adriano,
In memory of Bob, I reply: What you offer us here is a dog's breakfast.
But of course Malcolm wouldn't come anywhere near it. You need to get
yourself a book on Intro to Logic. For starters, what you offer as a
statement is actually an argument. It has 2 statements - one a premise,
the other a conclusion, and the 2 are connected by an inference. The
inference is formally valid, though soundness may be in dispute. (I have
never known a philosopher who was an idiot. Ignorant, poorly trained,
yes.)
What you say after that, whatever it is that you intend to say, does not
dispute the fact that truth is binary predicate, not scalar.

exercise
pick what you take to be a complex statement of arbitrary length
(since I am unable to tell what is the complexity of a statement-
to test your intuition consider the following
"that some philosophers are idiots entails that there is something
which is an idiot and a philosopher"
suppose you take the between quotes statements to be false, can you or
can't you state
IT's false that "...."
from your answer
all one can gather is what you take to be an operator)
once you have selected the statemnet you assess to be complex,
append to it, parataxis way,
"and that is false"
would you explain what does not "work"?

Hey Paul,
Questions two:
1. Is the following itself a "very simple statement"?:
"true/false as a binary only really works with very simple
statements."
2. Is it that some statements are complex and not simple? What
would
that mean?
Geez, I hope Trump is listening in ...
Cheers, Walter

P.S. In honour of Bob: My first sentence above assumes that truth
lower
qualitative/scalar, as if a statement can possess a higher or
------------------------------------------------------------------degree of truth. (As in "truthiness.") Of course, that's very
false.
Truth is binary, like pregnancy.
