List, Jerry and John
Highly problematic, I agree. But it is not true that any
contradiction,or all contradictions imply everything. Not logically, not
really.
Everything does not mean the same as anything. For CSP anything remains
an open (vague) question UNTILL further studies & determinations on that
basis.
On everything we can never definitely say.
On whichever moment in time (the current present), there always remains
more to be found out. - Or else there is no one to say anything.

Everything?
While this assertion is widely repeated in the literature, I think it
is highly problematic.
Because it violates the common sense of the meaning of natural
language terms in the premise.
