  • When Olcott is not lying.

    Olcott has explained that sentences with a self-reference have no truth
    value.
    This means that every time he uses 'I', 'me', 'my', 'we', 'our', 'us',
    he thinks it is not true.
    That explains why he thinks that he is not lying when he says: "I am a genius'.
