Consider patching by tabooing “truth”. Declarative sentences don’t actually have truth value, except in the sense where “truth” is a handwave toward conveying information which allows an update of the receiver’s beliefs. The improvement of predictions enabled by this update is sometimes referred to as “truth”.
Don’t get me wrong—it’s a very useful shorthand, and in many many cases you don’t need to expand it. But in the adversarial case where statements are picked to break the normal use of “truth”, the right response is to abandon the simple concept for those cases.
