Apr 16, 2014 at 7:22 comment added Andrej Bauer My point was that people do not expect a perfect transportation machine to exist, and neither do they worry that there isn't one, but somehow they worry about the fact that no (reasonable) foundation of mathematics is complete.
Apr 16, 2014 at 7:17 comment added David Richerby I don' think the car analogy quite works as the question isn't so much "Is the car useless?" but "Can the car serve as the foundation transportation?" But, in any case, the fundamental point stands that any system that is going to be a foundation of mathematics is necessarily incomplete.
