I am saying his statement is relative, and is only true from some understanding.
The problem is people sometimes take statements as absolute truth. Obviously the words you put is not an axiom because it has an opposite.
It reminds of the verse "You did not throw when you threw but God threw", in that they are all contradictory. "You did not" contradicts "you threw" and "You did not" is contradicted by "but God threw", and it is in fact, what confirms it from another angle.
What does the law of contradiction say about this in logic. It's none-sense at all layers. But it's a truth.
So to me, axioms are not useful to be defined. Rather, we are to see things through their proper angles.
And to see properly you don't assert, you see. And you look to increase in perspective. Discussion is important, but sometimes if people pressure you to leave truth, you eventually will, and if they pressure to embrace falsehood, you might.
I believe in true statements, but their angles could never be properly expressed in axioms. They have to be experienced. Language is a communicator.
There is no probably no way to make an absolute statement that is true in all angles. This includes every statement in Quran.
