No, I don't think so.  I'm arguing that there is an underlying "essence" to things that transcends (or at least cannot be known not to transcend) whatever material structures it piggybacks on.

My apologies, I understood that you were talking about that. I just wasn’t sure if I was missing an even deeper layer to that example.

It was a good example to demonstrate that. Thanks Smile
