I understand what you mean, but the intent isn't to confuse anybody, but to prove a conceptual point; this being that only a total lack of information is 100% accessible to all people equally, and that all web accessibility must as a result scale downwards from that absolute point. Since the page has no practical purpose at all, and provides nothing to anybody, everybody receives the same amount of information, and it is thus compliant with all standards because no population receives any more information than any other, making it equally accessible to all.

As I've said, it's just a thought experiment to prove the point.

If you personally were going to try and represent this concept to people using a web page, keeping in mind that it is a thought experiment so you can't explain all of this in advance, how would you set up the page to show this?
