[FOM] Consequence of PA inconsistency

[Harvey Friedman]

I think that it is best, before we get into this standard technique,  
to determine whether or not what I wrote is truly responsive to the  
discussion that is going on about whether "an inconsistency in PA  
refutes arithmetic Platonism". When I wrote this paragraph, I thought  
it was responsive, but I would like to make sure.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with this standard technique.  Could you
please spell it out a little for us?  This sounds interesting.
