@Tzetze, no, they're just using a different X.

But the sets of provable propositions are different.

Yes, but they depend on the assumptions made, not on a given person's opinion.

What assumptions are true is an opinion.

Only when you're comparing things to the real world. Otherwise, assumptions are true by definition.

Yes, when it comes to things like facts and figures. If asked about his interpretation of events, his own subjective bias comes into play, but for something having to do with blueprints or numbers or anything testable, you can find out if your knowledge reflects reality using that knowledge in reality. You can look at a jet check and see if there are stationary bicycles powering it, or if it uses a jet engine. You could ask something like "How do you know if this is reality or if we're all just brains in jars" but that's irrelevant, because in this "reality", jets work with jet engines.
As for truth and falsehood- Truth is whatever is reflected by reality, falsehood is that which is not. No matter how sound the logic is, if it's not reflected by reality, it's not actually true.
