You thinking the milk is something else doesn't change the fact that it's milk on your desk. It cannot be milk and not-milk at the same time. This is a logical contradiction.

You can't be physical and conceptual at the same time, genius.
I have an apple. It is physical.
I can think of an apple. This is conceptual.
They are NOT the same thing.
You can't exist literally and then also be a metaphor for yourself, just like the apple can't exist as a physical entity and a concept at the same time - It's logically invalid.
