Dear John,
Dear Bruno, think about it as absolute truth:
Isn't 1+1 not 2, but 11?
If 11 is a notation for 2, then it is the *same* absolute truth,
just written with non standard notation.
If 11 denotes eleven (1*10 + 1), as it usually does, then it is an
absolute falsity, which

logic, when 1 and 1 make 11, nothing more.
So Bruno's absolute truth may have even more relatives.
