[FOM] Con(ZFC) is trivial

Nik,
 
Links to my papers on new axioms and their justification may be found in my 
 July posting,

Axioms may be added to ZFC according to stringent standards if they can be  
justified in terms of "further extending" the cumulative hierarchy.  My  
present methods accomplish this in a "stylized" manner which seems to me 
nearly  as compelling as ZFC itself.

Please  clarify "stringently  justified"?
