Is the idea that everything is an argument of some {du} predicate,
and hence that the restriction applies vacuously?

You are egregiously, exhaustingly quickwitted.

More generally, {ro du}, {lo du}, {le du}, etc. can be used
to introduce sumti without saying anything about them. {le du}
in particular is worth noticing, as an alternative to nonanaphoric
ko'a.
