The easiest answer to this is yes, he could create a stone he couldn't lift. And then he could lift it anyway.

Actually the easiest answer is "no" because it doesn't require cognitive dissonance.

What false negative? If he can lift it then he didn't create a stone he can't lift. Can he make one plus one equal anything other than two?
