When we speak of Tao, we usually put flavor in it - saying Tao is this and that. Just like some people like to portray God as this and that when clearly they have no idea whatsoever about God - and Tao. So when we speak of Tao with flavor (this and that, bla bla bla) we are misleading ourselves and others. To understand Tao, we must keep our mind clear first - clear of all self-manifested thoughts and beliefs.

Our understanding of it or the lack thereof..........
The space between Heaven and Earth is like a bellows;
it is empty, yet has not lost its power.
The more it is used, the more it produces;
the more you talk of it, the less you comprehend.
-Tao Te Ching

We are blind men arguing about what the elephant is.
We are arguing or discussing the differences in our points of view.

We're not daoists, so we're arguing about whether yahweh exists.
