Ah, the old jokes are the best jokes and jokes where mystics best logicians 
at logic are the best (and oldest) of all.  I am not sure that this one will 
come out too well in Lojban -- it may depend on how you understand Chuang's 
argument.  If you take it as a contrast between "by what means" and "from 
what place." as one English version has it, then it surely won't.  But this 
version takes it as about the presuppositions of a "how" question and so 
should work, regardless of what translation for "how" is used. And that is 
the cleverer "logical" ploy.
I used to snarl at anyone who started their translating career with Laotze or 
Shakespeare, but at least this piece of Chuang & Hui seems feasible.
