Turing words:

"Every 'function which would naturally be regarded as computable' can be
computed by a Turing machine"

The expression 'function which would naturally be regarded as computable' is
intentionally left vague and not formally defined.

In the same way I wanted to say something about some "statements that would
naturally be ragarded as true" without formalizing this notion. Mine was
just an Idea, no matter if nobody here like it...
