In science we never know we get the truth, but we can reason from
assumption, and if you can agree with comp, if only for the sake of
the argument, you can understand that if comp is true then arithmetic,
or anything Turing equivalent, is enough, and that more is provably
redundant or wrong.
I gave more that one TOE as examples.
