   G := (F ⊬ G) // G says of itself that it is unprovable in F   
      
   With a reasonable type system that is a type error:   
   - the symbol ⊬ requires a sentence on the right side   
   - the value of the ⊬ operation is a truth value   
   - the symbol := requires the same type on both sides   
   - thus G must be both a sentence and a truth value   
      
   But G cannot be both. A sentence has a truth value but it isn't one.
