Your statement seems in contradiction. :) I tease. More seriously, absurdity with a name is still absurdity. You've chosen to redefine what is meant by clapping in a way I believe violates the intention of the koan. Your answer defies cause and effect, among other things, and tho I might enjoy taking the argument in that direction, it still begs the meaning.

Same as above. Nonsense. I have no problem with nonsense, I just require it have meaning. How does this lead to a Theory of Everything?
