Seriously though, maybe everything is nothing, but how does such a claim assist us here?

Context is something, that it has a name shows that, otherwise we'd be using the word 'nothing' for every thing.

Lasagna is lasagna  

It is not nothing. It is genuinely, genuinely Not Knowing.

You sound like a proselytizer.  Our focus here is Context.

When one realizes that everything is Divine, all distinctions dissolve. No more contexts, no more lasagna, no separations at all. There is only the Divine itself, and its reflection: love.

This understanding weaves all words and context (including meaning of context) together, connects our conversations, and even binds the taste of lasagna into the same sacred thread.

That sounds wonderful.

Now, did you have an insight into context?

I understand the tendency to absolutize everything; but a 'thing' comes to exist as a particular experience or perception. 'Context' is the one being discussed here. Or: a dish is a dish, not another thing it is not (at least in this conversation.)

If we dismiss the absolute, then the implications or meaning of “context” become fluid. Shifting endlessly with perception and understanding, both of which belong to the mind. What I’m aiming to address here is not the variable meanings that context can take, but rather what “context” is in its absolute sense, independent of interpretation.
