   No it was a mistake. Here is my correction:   
   If Goldbach's truth value cannot be determined in a   
   finite number of steps then it is not a truth bearer   
   in PA, otherwise it is a truth-bearer in PA with an   
   unknown truth value.   
      
   This has no effect on my claim that I got rid of   
   Gödel Incompleteness.   
      
   When we change the foundation of formal systems   
   to proof theoretic semantics and add my truth   
   predicates then Gödel's claim of applying to   
   every formal system that can do a little bit of   
   arithmetic becomes simply false.   
      
   Every attempt at showing incompleteness  PA   
   has never actually been  PA.   
      
   The satisfaction of external models of arithmetic   
   never has been  PA. These are categorically   
   outside of PA by the definition of proof theoretic   
   semantics thus defined as non-well-founded. This   
   neuters their ability to show incompleteness.
