Hmm … I am guessing that the post might have read:
“If you’re putting a door in your building but then add a sign to the door that says ‘No Admittance’ … wouldn’t a wall have just been a better choice in the first place?”
It is a philosophical conundrum. If I block the way with a door and refuse to let myself walk through said door, is it still a door? Isn’t it now a wall? And if I am to succeed, isn’t it a wall I must climb?
No explainy?

I preferred the no explanation…I took it as a quirky exercise in creativity to come up with my own.
And K?

I am a wall I must climb.
I just thought it was that door at the end of the hallway where the bathrooms are at McDonald’s. But perhaps it is a zen koan puzzle.
