It is far from clear that a theory of that kind can express all arithmetic

He can only think in primitive logic systems that can't reach the complexity needed for the proofs he talks about, but can't see the problem, as he just doesn't understand the needed concepts.

The topic of the discussion is completeness. Is there a complete system

A formal language of a theory of natural numbers needn't define "2" or
"3". Those concepts can be expressed as "1+1" and "1+1+1" or as "SS0"
and "SSS0" depending on which symbols the language has.

 Of course there is. From definitions and psotulates one can prove
that 3 > 2, at least in some formulations. Or that 1+1+1 > 1+1 if
the language does not contaion "3" and "2".
