Yeah, I don't see all that either, but I do think that absurdism proceeds from the silent premise that the world could be, and should be, some other way. That what we mean when we say that life is (or seems) absurd is in reference to that conceptual entity or quality. That and, just, you know, throwing out a specter of absurdity to confuse the angel of death - a time honored magical traditional. 
(you got me looking for what I'd call "good" stuff on absurdism - I've been looking to see if there's anything specifically about absurdism in myth and folklore.)
