The bottom line here is that every objection that he could
have possibly made is addressed by this augmentation to
the definition of {analytic truth}

*Original definition* of {Analytic truth}
Every expression of (formal or natural language) that is
true on the basis of its meaning...

*Is augmented by this*
within a system of reasoning is only true when this
expression is linked by truth preserving operations to
its meaning within this system using this language.

The superset of all of these systems that contains all
analytic truth is called {the accurate model of the actual world}.
