I think it’s more like “un-ask the question”, “it doesn’t make sense to ask that” etc

I thought it meant "no" as in "no, it hasn't." The followup question in the koan is "why not?"
-
A Buddhist told me that it's no, because dogs were considered scum, but yes, because all living things have Buddha nature.
-
A lot of koans are based on knowing specific doctrine deeply, not just meditating abstractly
-
It'd be like me asking "will containers solve everything?" -- your answer won't be convincing unless I feel you know devops deeply.
-
And in both cases your initial answer might be technically right but a master might say you haven't gotten it cuz you lack experience.
