That is like saying that the sky is just a bunch of colors. Or that an orange is a football. What you are missing here that most things can be COMPOSED (!) of (various) other things...
...unless you will reply with this with something like "That's right! We are just a ball of flesh!". Then eh.... *shrug
Your definition list was on point tho, I give you that.
This is interesting, Gustavo. Let's try something: take a block of wood and drill a hole through it, then place it on a table.
One could say, what is this, a tunnel for ants? They might be correct.
Make the hole much larger, and one could say, what is this, a tunnel for model trains? They might be correct.
I still say that a tunnel is one hole, not two, and not made of other completely different things. It also aligns with the donut explanation given in other responses. I disagree with you on the human meat balls, that is conflating two very different things.
I'd like to know your two-hole arguments please?
