Pathological self-reference DOES CHANGE THE SEMANTICS.
"This sentence is not true" is neither true nor false
because it is not a truth bearer.

The exact same (finite string) sentence applied to a
copy of itself becomes true because the inner sentence
is not a truth-bearer.

 You are changing the subject to irrelevant other subjects.

I am provided a specific concrete counter-example that
correctly refutes your claim that finite strings have
the exact same meaning regardless of context.
It is incorrect to ignore context.
You are incorrect to ignore context.
