Words don't contain any real magic. Exist is a slippery word .. exist as an idea, exist as an object, exist if no one can perceive or conceive of it? Add on necessarily and you have what?
Who is in any position to say what exists necessarily? By that do you mean that it isn't possible for us to conceive of it not existing? But is it possible for anything to exist without our being able to conceive of it? How can any of us answer that?
These are just words and categories with dissonant associations, nothing to be alarmed about .. and nothing to figure out. You've got the "exist" bee and the "necessarily" bee stuck in the same bottle and the resulting buzz is disturbing. So let them out, let them go.
