His reply was not ignoring it.

Actually, this is a variation of the famous Kurt Godel conundrum of the  
following two sentences:

    The following sentence is true.

    The preceding sentence is false.

Godel recognized that both of these could not be resolved logically.  See  
the book Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R  
Hofstadter.  It won an emmy.  Hofstadter is also the one who wrote  
Hofstader's Rule:  "Everything takes longer than you think, even when you  
take Hofstadter's Rule into account."  It won a Murphy's Law corollary  
competition in Omni magazine decades ago.
