Indeed that's silly, but I don' t follow your reasoning. I say that
"lo" has nothing to do with quantifiers, and you ask whether "lo" can
have some more or less absurd hidden quantifiers? Just forget about
any connection between "lo" and quantifiers. Is "lo gerku cu blabi" a
fine generalization of "lo zirpu gerku cu blabi" because "lo" has no
default color? Is "lo gerku" a fine generalization of "lo fetsi gerku"
because "lo" has no  hidden gender? What about "lo fetsi najenai nakni
gerku"? Or does "lo" have a default "fetsi ja nakni" gender? "lo" has
nothing to do with color, it has nothing to do with gender, and it has
nothing to do with number. That doesn't mean you can assume there are
hidden crazy colors, genders or numbers when you use "lo".
