Nice one. Chuang Tsu would agree. He said:

“The fish trap exists because of the fish; once you've gotten the fish, you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit; once you've gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning; once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. When can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can have a word with him? “

Still he also said "The Tao must be talked" so discussing it is possible, just confusing. The 'that' cannot explain the 'this' (in principle) but it can at least point to it, or certain aspects of it.

This goes back to the issue of 'non-duality' and why a non-dual substance must be inconceivable and untalkable and why. if there is such a thing, it can never be included in a ToE.
