It's more that it seems most things, even officially defined things, are defined just well enough to be socially agreed upon rather than having an objective reality.
Some do. Social constructs, for example. I think what you're missing is that a thing is not a social construct just because society agrees. A society might agree on x because x is true. A thing is a social construct when it's existence is dependent -only- on that agreement.
