Meaningless? I'm pretty sure my grammar was sound, and quite certain the words used are all fairly well known. Perhaps the deficit is at your end. I don't now what kind of back up you think would be required.

Sure you could. If you and the GM agree that your Gadget was a grand piano that granted Flight.
Or rather since you assert that this is not possible somehow, perhaps you'd like to explain why you couldn't?

I quite clearly said the GM could let it slide, so I return to the impression that you did not pay any actual attention to the points I wrote.
In the absence of a GM ruling, putting gadget modifiers on an Advantage doesn't somehow make that advantage into a particular thing that grants extraneous in-game capabilities. You can't just say "I have a magic gem that grants Infravision but also btw it's the largest diamond in the world and worth half-a-billion dollars."
In this case, look at what Enhanced Defenses (Block) says:
"Enhanced Block: You have +1 to
your Block score with either Cloak or
Shield skill. You must specialize in
one particular Block defense. 5 points."
It doesn't say you get to have a Block manouever
without having a Cloak or Shield.
Compare two builds:
1. Enhanced Defense (Block) (5) (Modifier: Can be Stolen (Contest of ST) -30%) [4]
2. Enhanced Defense (Block) (5) (Modifier: Can be Stolen (Contest of ST) -30%) [4]
Which one of those items is a shield (which would make a Block possible), and which one other is a feather (which means you would not get a Block)?
