So let's reduce it until it's harder to point to the word being

Can Hashem make a 3 sided object that has 5 sides? That's self
contradictory, not a word problem; a simple extension of asking whether
Hashem must comply to the law of contradiction or He can make both A
and not-A both true at the same time.
