DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> Different formal tools are useful for different purposes.&nbsp\; For example\, when it comes to modelling degrees of belief\, probability theory is a better tool than classical logic\; when it comes to modelling the truth of mathematical claims\, classical logic is a better tool than probability theory.&nbsp\; In this paper I focus on a widely used formal tool and argue that it does not provide a good model of a phenomenon of which many think it does provide a good model: I shall argue that while supervaluationism may provide a model of probability of truth\, or of assertability\, it cannot provide a good model of truth -- truth cannot be supertruth.&nbsp\; The core of the argument is that an adequate model of truth must render certain connectives truth-functional -- and supervaluationism does not do so.</p>
