You didn't fully understand the depth of the question. The question addressed
a hypothetical situation in which there was absolutely *nothing* in existence
at all - no matter, energy, God or gods, universe, multiverse, forces,
properties, universal laws, etc. Quantum uncertainty is a property of
reality. The question assumed the complete absence of any kind of reality
and such properties.
