That is a rather negative way of looking at it. You could say the same thing in a much more positive way by saying "Nothing is potentially anything."
Stated either way the idea is illogical and inaccurate as well as a poor use of language. Nothingness would be the correct term and if it has any meaning then "nothingness is nothingness."
FWIW nothingness does not exist.
WHAT!??
You mean that you haven't heard of any of the ideas coming out of the WH and made a judgment about the intelligence level there??
