I don't see the consistency issue here
assuming Tarski's
[[
  A deductive theory is called CONSISTENT or NON-CONTRADICTORY
  if no two asserted statements of this theory contradict each other,
  or, in other words, if any two contradictory sentences at least one
  *cannot* be proved.
]]
where is the inconsistency Brian???
It's actually "good luck" that we *cannot* prove everything!!!
