If there is ONE qualifier, then maybe there are TWO. Maybe there are a million. Maybe one of them is "if they are not about events which have not yet come to pass" (with some relativistically sound definition of "come to pass"). Either way, it's obvious that statements are not simply true or false in every single case.

>>You qualify your statement with "if they make sense", but if you do that, I can easily claim that any statement about the future does not "make sense".

Can you justify that based on anything other than intuition? Intuition fails quite severely when discussing certain parts of reality. (For instance, I am sure you, or at least most people, think that events can happen at the same time at different places, even though this turns out not to be the case.)
