Apr 21, 2010 at 14:13 comment added Thomas Riepe Just found and not yet read, <a href="rsta.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/363/1835/…" title="abstract">here</a> an article on Skolem's thoughts on the meaning of that incompleteness. BTW, I found that incompleteness theorem (after I had learned it's precise formulation) not very surprising, but would have been shocked about a completeness theorem, as the later would show that elementary number theory were "trivial" and just like some chess game.

Apr 15, 2010 at 18:23 comment added Harry Gindi So these comments make sense, I'll explain the comments I deleted: I made a comment regarding some set-theoretic nonsense because I misread the post and didn't see that Minhyong was assuming the axioms of group theory instead of set theory.

Apr 14, 2010 at 22:01 comment added Minhyong Kim I'm afraid you're far too sophisticated for me. But I'll leave it to a professional to write down the absolutely correct version of group theory and its language in a way that my assertions make good sense.
