Another analogy (flawed as any of them). Sports teams "exist" in a sense. They meet one another in well-defined interactions, called matches, and such an interaction can be described as if teams were well-defined atomic entities, producing a score. But a sports team is not atomic, not a "final reality" entity. A sports team can pass through one gate, or through several gates, when entering a stadium. From a doctor's perspective, the team "does not exist", a doctor only operates in terms of individual players' organisms.
