Therefore, perhaps proof of truth is an unattainable goal in math. Perhaps proof of truth is an unattainable goal anywhere.

Math isn't concerned with true, it's only concerned with what theorems follow from given axioms.

I disagree a lot with this. I'm afarid you confuse the tools, like a theory, formal or informal, with the subject matter.

I'm afraid you do the same. You assume that the tools constitute a subject matter.

But that is what it becomes when you say "yes" to the doctor, or when you apply the Schroedinger equation to the physicists looking at a particle.

We must not confuse, but we must not dismiss that some hypothesis allows and necessitates some confusion, or identity/invariant thesis.
