An inference - boolean or otherwise - can be made from the nonsensical response to the question posed.

Aside from no response whatseover (it inherently being a response), any response whatsoever (however nonsensical) carries information. Your answer of "no" defies logic in that either no place exists or there isn't any body. For the latter to be true, then there can't be "anybody" or if the former is true then there can't be a place; "no place" of being is just plain irrational. A response in and of itself dictates being, and the only logical inference that could be made if the negative response was indeed true, then there must indeed be "sombody", and this by inference means that someplace also must be.

What is unclear is if this is some form of solipsism. Unfortunately I/you/we don't have enough data yet.
