Maybe with meta-honesty it should be solved something like that meta-honesty means what it seems to mean, but to save the same thing that EY wanted, you have a remark that meta-honesty doesn’t negate simple honesty, you don’t get to say “ah, but I was meta-honest in the sense that I didn’t tell anyone that what I say is truth, therefore they shouldn’t have expected it as such”. It seems to me to perform the same role without adding some unobvuous meaning into the term. Sort of, relying on the same thing as that if you say how you are able to take out someone’s mother from burning house, that doesn’t mean that you can just do it as a corpse, your claim about ability here should mean something additional, having all else equal. And same for meta honesty, saying you are honest meta you don’t get to use some language of your own invention where yes means no or anything like that. This seems as intuitive way to put it, keeping both the idea that you don’t get to lie by simply not claiming your words to be true and having the term definition not be a complicated unexpected bundle.
