How about "All true propositions that can be proven to be true are tautologies."

Yeah, that sounds like a tautology to me.

The proposition itself sounds like a tautology? It's like one of them a priori deals? Cool. 


I was being clever.  If you accept your own proposition, then calling
it a tautology is tantamount to accepting the possibility that it is
true and provable.  If you accept the converse of your proposition,
then of course I've just said that it's true.

Everything I've been taught is a taughtology. 


Was your teacher a tortoise?
