it is simultaneously right and wrong
Isn’t it just wrong though? The statement contradicts itself which makes it wrong.
It is correct, because ‘nothing’ is indeed written in stone!
It isn’t, because “nothing” isn’t put in quotation marks like I or u have. Quotation marks indicate literality which would be required in this interpretation. So no, the absence of quotation marks makes this statement contradictory and hence, wrong.
There is no period so it’s not technically a statement. Ipso facto, your ruled regarding proper punctuation are null and void.
