what basis would any philosopher have to claim that self-referencing is inherently nonsensical?
Self-reference is not nonsensical when it refers to the physical organism in the world -- it only becomes nonsensical when it refers to "the experiencer" or to "the agent of action". The problem begins when these two notions are accreted onto the idea of self as a physical organism in the world.
