چکیده
Proposed remedies for the Paradox fall mainly into two kinds (cf. Brogaard and Salerno 2002, Wansing 2002). Some weaken the logic in the argument still further. This is like tuning down the volume on your radio so as not to hear the bad news. You will not hear much good news either. Other remedies leave the logic untouched, but weaken the verificationist principle itself. This is like censoring the news: you hear things loud and clear, but they may not be so interesting. The proposal made below falls into the latter category, but using a different perspective from mere tinkering with proof rules or premises. We will emphasize positive reasons why VT can, and sometimes should fail, having to do with the ways in which we learn new information.
