Yep, I think you are on the right path ...

To summarize Cecil:

Speculations to what an empty bucket would look like should be able to

If you are out there, Cecil, feel free to correct me ... *;-)

I guess the word "empty" has no meaning anymore. Why, an astronaut in
space cannot even carry an empty bucket. I'm sure you would agree that
we should just strike the word from the Webster and Oxford
dictionaries because you, who are immersed in advanced scientific
thought, are convinced that a state of emptiness anywhere in the
universe is impossible. I am truly humbled by your profound reasoning
which I know would not be possible without that little extra touch of
senility that releases you from the confining boundaries of logic. I
assume that the absence of a correction by Mr. Cecil will indicate his
agreement with your tripe. I might also mention that you need not
reach out to Mr. Cecil to validate your bizzare pronouncements. Get
some self-confidence in your statements Johhny, grow a spine!
