    (P): Statement (P) is false.
    If statement (P) is true, then by its own admission statement (P) is false – a contradiction! That means that statement (P) isn't true.
    On the other hand, suppose that statement (P) is false. Then we know that “statement (P) is false” is false, meaning that statement (P) is true – a contradiction! This means that statement (P) isn't false either.
