"The australian philosopher colin leslie dean points out robinson
arithmetic is not incomplete"
He is either (A) wildly misusing standard words or (B) is claiming
that there is no sentence S of the language of RA such that we have
both RA doesn't prove S and RA doesn't prove S.
You reject (A).
In which case you've been provided with a challenge to defend (B). In
particular, show either that RA proves (Ax)(0 + x = x) or that RA
proves not-(Ax)(0 + x = x).
There's £1000 on the table from me that says it can't be done. It's as
simple as that. Put up, provide a proof one way or the other of that
sentence or its negation, or shut up.
