Surely its playing with the meaning of speech. But these questions make a person think about what they're talking about.
Well, maybe. Here's another take
Actually, even the tree-in-the-forest question assumes that we can know what took place in the absence of an observer. How do we know a tree fell at all? If we're prepared to say our act of observing determines whether sound exists, why not say that the forest itself exists only because we observe it?
Pretty cool source
