Was that meant as an insult Zen? If so I was told to be careful how I used my words so as not to be insulting. That might be good advice in this situation.
As to those quotes, which interpretation were those from?

How can something that has never taken place exist in the past?

Blanket wisdom? you do not have a strong respect for wisdom, do you Zen? It almost seems as that which you define as wisdom is based more upon whether or not you like its source and how it presents that wisdom to you, rather than whether or not there is actually wisdom to be had.
