No, you'd have a bucket devoid of apples, until you put apples into it. Then, you'd have fewer apples than you had before.
You can call it negative apples, if you want. However, it's just an empty bucket. ;-)

In other words, it's all in your head. A real, physical, "negative apple" does not exist in this world. Only the human philosophical concept of "owing someone apples" or similar such things. That's the guys' point. It doesn't matter whether you can bring representations of negative apples because those all depend on a philosophical bedrock.
