When Harrison's makes the mistake of referring to a something
as "nothing" to get his point accepted, it actually works against
him. For example; if nothing is worse than death, and nothing is
better than life, death must be better than life. Similarly, to make
that point clearer, if I'm worse at math than rupie, and I'm better
at math than Harrison, rupie must be better at math than Harrison.

Also, if "The animals that will be raised for us to eat" are given
the choice to experience a good life or nothing, they would
choose nothing, because "nothing is better is than experiencing
a good life." To make that point clearer, Harrison walks into a
bar and doesn't order. When the barman asks him what he wants
Harrison says, "Nothing, thank you." When the barman asks,
"Why nothing?", Harrison replies, "Because nothing is better than
a cold beer on a hot day like today."
