One suspects that if the search for "foundations" were made rigorous enough to analyze in any meaningful way, someone like Gödel would come along with some sort of impossibility theorem. In other words, if we were to really examine the idea that any particular foundation could be the best/most natural/simplest/whatever, we'd see that it is folly.
