To those demanding a definition of guzhenplatzer:
A moment ago you took an action resulting in your ability to read
this message.  At that moment you were exercising your guzhenplatzer.
Now that you have experienced it, defining it will be a simple
matter of picking the right words for yourself.
Now, wasn't that easy!!!  Aren't you glad you have a guzhenplatzer to
  enable you to do it?

It's so easy to claim that something exists by just saying:  "See that.
That was guzhenplatzer."  That's how some people come to believe in all
kinds of things (god, the supernatural, free will, etc.)
