Nit: I can easily imagine scenarios in which a native English speaker would
naturally produce the sentence "This sentence is false," but "this sentence"
wouldn't be self-referential, and hence the sentence wouldn't be paradoxical
(e.g., someone's reading a news article aloud and pauses after a sentence to
proclaim it false).
