        @neiltyson @AbrahamHanover his nose only grows if he lies, not if what he says doesn't come true. Limits on information transmission solve.

        @neiltyson Since a lie ≠ a falsehood, I'm not sure this is a liar's paradox case. If he intends to deceive by uttering that, it would grow.

        @mibvws @neiltyson @RoseCaraway Either it grows, and pinocchio is surprised, or it doesn't, and he's surprised.
