True. I should have put it better. It's impossible to define if not in negative terms (absence of anything), so it's not a concept, but the absence of every concept.

The important point is that we don't have much in the way of empirical evidence from which to meaningfully discuss what a "nothing" would actually be. So, saying "nothing can't produce something" is an absolutely meaningless argument, because we don't have a nothing to examine.
