"If you start with a logical language that already has 'implies', you can add on the new connector, 'or', and then though you've made the statements a little easier for humans to understand, you haven't made the language any more expressive - your new innovation 'or' turns out to be reducible the same old 'implies' combined with 'not'.  After trying out a number of innovations of this type, you might repeatedly find that you were unable to extend the real power of your language, and so venture a guess - a guess based on mere past experience, like seeing that every triangle tested was a red triangle - that you had reached some natural limit of logic's power."

"But when I asked my Watchers as a child, they did not tell me, 'We're guessing this logic is as good as it gets.'  They told me, 'This logic you are learning is the most powerful form of logic that exists.'  The Watchers where I come from are trained by Keepers and entrusted with the teaching of children; they are not there to set a poor example by just making stuff up, by taking great blatant invalid leaps, by saying with certainty what they have no right to be certain of.  It's not something that gods told us, either; there's no gods where I come from, remember.  So how did they know - what could they possibly have known?  I do not expect you to guess this correctly, I couldn't have done that as a kid; but I'd like somebody to say out loud a wrong answer; for it's easier to fill yourself with knowledge after you've explicitly noticed yourself not being already full."
