well said. agree 100%. papers like these - and i did skim through it, are thinking "within the box" as follows: we have a system, and it has a problem, how do we fix the problem "within" the context of the system.

As you have put it well, there is no notion of truthfulness encoded in the system as it is built. hence there is no way to fix the problem.

An analogy here is around the development of human languages as a means of communication and as a means of encoding concepts. The only languages that humans have developed that encode truthfulness in a verifiable manner are mathematical in nature. what is needed may be along the lines of encoding concepts with a theorem prover built-in - so what comes out is always valid - but then that will sound like a robot lol, and only a limited subset of human experience can be encoded in this manner.
