I recently came across an article published by BCG on this topic. Its fascinating. A few perspectives i enjoyed from the articles are:
The importance of nonsense can hardly be overstated. The more clearly we experience something as "nonsense", the more clearly we are experiencing the boundaries of our own self-imposed cognitive structures. "Nonsense" is that which does not fit into the prearranged patterns which we have superimposed on reality. There is no such thing as "nonsense" apart from a judgmental intellect which calls it that.
Those who establish the established lines of thought, however, are those who do not fear to venture boldly into nonsense, into that which any fool could have told them is clearly not so. This is the mark of the creative mind; in fact, this is the creative process. It is characterized by a steadfast confidence that there exists a point of view from which the "nonsense" is not nonsense at all - in fact, from which it is obvious.

U hv found a sense even in non sense. May be u r talking out of common sense which is most uncommon to which many belong and call some sense which they can't sense as non sense
