Not having a thing is not the same as having an empty maybe-thing

Fascinating perspective. Obviously this gets into coding theory (in the Gödel philosophical sense) if we treat it formally, but I'll go with the grammatical response. Your sentence: Does the license 'have' a maybe phone number. Mine: The license may have a phone number.

You replaced a question with a sentence, let's fix: Is the fact that 'a license may have a phone number' reified? Must all the possible (not nonsense!) things a license might have be reified? Can I ask you questions about your license that your DMV has not yet considered?

What we're playing around is sort of the meaning of "what does it mean to 'have' nonsense?" What does it mean to 'have' an answer to 1/0? What does it say about us when we believe we posses a thing that cannot exist?
