“Any proposition starts out with a 50% probability of being true” is still utterly wrong. Because “any” indicates multiplicity. At the point where you claim these proposition “begin”, they aren’t even differentiated into different propositions; they’re nothing but the abstraction of a letter P as in “the unknown proposition P”.
I’ve conceded that you were instead talking about an abstraction of statements, not any actual statements. At this point, if you want to duel it out to the end, I will say that you failed at using language in order to communicate meaning, and you were abstracting words to the point of meaninglessness.
edit to add: And as a sidenote, even unknown statements can’t be divided into 50% chance of truth and 50% falsehood, as there’s always the chances of self-referential contradiction (e.g. the statement “This statement is wrong”, which can never be assigned a True/False value), self-referential validity (e.g. The statement “This statement is true”, which can be assigned either a true or false value), confusion of terms (e.g. The statement “A tree falling in the woods makes a sound.” which depends on how one defines a “sound”.), utter meaninglessness (“Colorless green ideas sleep furiously”) etc, etc.
