"The upshot is that certain questions about machine behavior cannot be answered by the machines themselves;"

Otherwise we probably need to update our concept of what computation is.

"But one then has the problem that an unanswerable question is not a scientific question -- and thus any belief that all such questions can be addressed in a logical and scientific manner "commits suicide.""

The problem is that no-one has shown that any other mechanism of addressing questions actually has any utility. As such, whether or not people like it, these questions simply become unanswerable at all.
