I understand what you are saying and agree. Just the use of words like
'assert'.. sort of a Zen joke. Like... "Zen asserts nothing".

Zen is a Buddhism almost stripped of Buddha. One Zen saying goes "If you
met the Buddha, kill him!" 'Buddha' being a fixation of thought, a
coherent tangible, therefore the Buddha becomes the antithesis of the
(Zen) Buddha!! This is humor to me and what makes it even better is
that's what it is meant to be.
Anyway, no big deal. The subject is vastly interesting to me has been for
many years and I enjoy the intended humor in it very much.
Just don't do something, STAND THERE!!
