That’s not even remotely the point. Yes there are nany valid solutions. The point isn’t to solve it, but what how you solve it says about and clarifies your ideas.
I suppose if you’re going to be postmodernist about it, but that’s beyond my ability to understand. The only complete solution I know to Theseus’ Ship is “the universe is agnostic as to which ship is the original. Identity of a composite thing is not part of the laws of physics.” Not sure why you put scare quotes around it.
as I said, postmodernist lol. I’m coming from the absolutist angle.
I’ll admit though that it also functions to tell you about how someone thinks about the universe. But this is true of any question which has one right answer.
‘A solution’
