I take that to mean that they had no answer at all so they just made some impossibility up so they wouldn't look dumb?

No, it's an acknowledgement that modeling reality 100% accurately is impossible. So we simplify the problem to get as close as an answer as we can realistically get without wasting time/resources on irrelevant data.

The shape of a cow and the air pressure is pretty much irrelevant when it comes to modeling milk production. So, you can leave it out of your calculations and still do a pretty good simulation with fairly accurate predictions.

But we recognize the absurdity of the situation and joke about it, because it is kinda funny.
