One of the big problems is that he was trying to talk about the logical correctness of human-level symbolic statements about the world. Even if the logic is correct, there is no correct, consistent mapping from the analog world, to symbolic descriptions, and back. A mapping that’s close enough to work 99.99% of the time isn’t good enough when you’re talking about proof.
