With all due respect to Dijkstra, whether or not something is interesting is subjective.

I wonder if his point was that the question didn't need to be answered for whatever they were discussing at the time?

His point is that question ultimately boils down to a semantic argument over the word "think/swim", which may be interesting to a linguist but is not philosophically meaty in the way the question implies.
