The subtlety of definition you use as regards TPILB, John, does nothing to gainsay the paradox of the proposition that one must put content on the page in order to indicate it has none. It would be like passing someone a note which read, "This is not a message". You would need a book the size of Godel, Escher and Bach to get to the bottom of the resonating self-referential contradictions; and keeping the universe in full creation in the interim could get to be a real strain.
