He wasn't talking about arguing with a homeopath -- he was talking
about mocking homeopathy.
If you accept the premise of homeopathy having to do with the
transferring of the essence or memory or whatever it's called, the
fact that the final "solution" contains none of the original solute is
irrelevant, and they will freely admit that none of the solute is
actually present. It's all a complete and utter scam, of course.
