Well, that post is about 8000, not 745; but yes, in general, you are not going to use a Gödel sentence when trying to drive down the record.

This isn't disagreeing with what I was saying, though; I said incompleteness requires there is some such n, and then also said what we know about the record, I didn't say the record comes from a Gödel sentence.



You are right, sorry about that :-)

Hope my comment addresses a common confusion despite its unnecessarily corrective tone.
