    Some people think "For every false statement, there's another even more false statement." But nothing could be further from the truth.

        So there are absolutely false statements which couldn't possibly be any more false ?

        "From a contradiction, everything follows." Once you guess that 91 is a prime number, you are as wrong as possible and can't be more wrong.

        For every extremely low probability statement, there is another even lower probability statement.

        I think this only holds true if you define probability having possible values p of 0 < p <= 1, which is... nonstandard.

        I was just thinking that you can always add another improbable conjunct to any improbable statement.

        They key is to plot truthiness along many different axes.

        All false statements are equidistant from the truth and nothing is further from truth than all false statements?

        Challenge: create a theory of truth for which the statement holds, just to contradict a meta joke.

        "Truth is additive." "Truth is noodles." Both are false, but something about the latter seems 'more' off.
