We cannot know that anything is true by an infinite

falsely claims above.

Our KNOWLEDGE that the statement is true, comes from a finite proof in the meta system.

Some cases such as the Goldbach conjecture's truth or falsity may
require in infinite sequence of truth preserving operations as
their truthmaker. In these cases the truth or falsity remains
permanently unknown.

 Which means you still don't understadn about the "System" part o fa Formal System.
 Like Godel's G, only has an infinite chain IN THE SYSTEM, so is unprovable in the system, but has a finite chain in the meta,

I didn't know that the Goldbach conjecture had a finite chain in meta.
No one else seems to know that.
