Have you ever read Cohen's "Independence of the Continuum Hypothesis"?
He builds a model of like a universe of ordinals,
then at the end, he has M < M', so,
what he does is he swaps M' < M,
and so establishes the independence of the continuum hypothesis.
Now, that's sort of involved, yet, if you've never read
that, then otherwise it's sort of an extra-ordinary
fact that Cohen has at least in his meta-theory,
that now forms a part of the entire correspondent
and coherent and pragmatist theory of truth,
that while the troll is still a crank lying idiot,
all of a sudden the very fact you threw in its face,
is right behind you.
