This is a pointless angle. It also has no relevance to Zendo --
because in terms of the game, it doesn't matter whether the master
views "all blue pyramids are wierd" as being true without blue
pyramids or not; it's still entirely guessable and in points of
ambiguity (on guesses), the master can check.
That said, you are wrong -- you're confusing multiplying by zero with
dividing by zero. All the pets in my household are cockaroaches.
They're also all aliens from mars, purple, pink, and polka-dotted.
If all = 0, then contradictory things can be true...which is fine,
because 0 * anything is zero.
