I'll bite. How are the words incoherent? I assume you mean the question is not well-formulated or otherwise unanswerable?
Yes, that's correct. The words individually have meaning, but when you string them together like this they don't pose a valid question. It's like asking "where can I find the cube that doesn't have a shape?" There are logical contradictions inherent in the question itself, and so it only appears to make sense.
If you scroll down a bit in the thread, you'll see me expand on this point. (These are not my thoughts by the way. Smarter people thought about this stuff centuries ago.)
edit: I see you've already read my longer comment.
