Which would obviously be false. There are clearly true theorems we will never be able to prove. Simply because we can prove many theorems that simpler formal systems cannot, entails nothing about our logical consistency or completeness.

There's an argument to be made that these logical constructs you mention might just nkt be meaningful in the real world. Everything has to come down to zeroth order logic, eventually, I guess.
