More like linguistic cunning instead of a riddle, because there is no real resolution. They still don’t get to smoke. Funny lingual games would never help me if I was craving nicotine.
What about if after a few days of floating in the ocean and being pulled into a giant hopeless loop by sea currents through hundreds of miles, one of the sailors feels very sick. Does the other desperate individual has the following overwhelming dilemma? Either he will kill him and he will eat him, or he will let him die tossing him afterwards over board.

warning, cheegster: his ideas don’t make sense, he has no justification for them, and he is very stubborn that they’re correct. he has made up a brand new paradigm with which to view the world, and it is completely and utterly incorrect, and there is nothing you can do to tell him so. do not engage: it will be fruitless. unless, of course, you find pleasure in watching someone struggle to keep nonsense in order.
I lost my post. Here it is again. Your example of using “asswhole” insstead of “whole” is apt. I will tell you why. Because only the whole has a meaning, and it is the meaning that identifies the parts. So “asswhole” identifies the parts of wittering on and on. Do yu get me dearie.
I do not agree with your ass-wholistic idea. A society can be made up of many ass-wholes and that does not necessarily represent that the whole could provide meaning to those individuals. On the contrary, those individuals are the ones that will define a whole.
