So, I'm rather curious of some results that could be not interested at all for people with a solid formation in foundations of mathematics: I'm just learning from the answers in FOM and MetaMath groups and I'm understanding better the proof assistants from the point of view of foundations of mathematics. I'm not claiming any inconsistency in Coq, I'm just comparing this possibility with the possibility of inconsistency of Q0. For me the inconsistency of Coq is a rather theological claim.
