This is fundamentally true for everything in the universe. Every single category breaks down. Even if I were to drill down into, say, five dimensions, your basic argument would still hold true.
If we took the raw complexity of reality into consideration, we'd never be able to move forward because we'd be stuck in an endless debate over categorization. It's why I included caveats at both the beginning and the end of my statement.

- tenaciousDaniel 6y agoMy point is that reality gets in the way of everything we think. It's all made up.

- coldtea 6y agoActually the argument is "why lose the forrest for the trees?". Every day you make abstractions to better understand reality. For example, you don't devote equal attention to every blade of grass, you sum it as "this is a lawn" and move on. If you didn't you'd be lost in the first few feet walking outside of your house, seeing everything as an equally important detail.
