This is nonsense. It's true; but nonsense nevertheless. Because it gives the misleading impression that you can only prove the consistency of a formal system using a "stronger" system. But that's quite wrong: it only needs to be a different formal system.



Of course, it isn't "nonsense"; instead simply the state of affairs ;-)
