'Tis but a logic thing. Not literal, nor all inclusive factual, at all.

Agreed with COLGeek.
The logic thing is the point, here. But this is a very bad choice of premise.

"The more gruyere there is, the more holes there are.
Although, the less holes there are, the more gruyere there is.
Therefore, the more gruyere there is, the less gruyere there is."
