That's like saying you can split a dinner plate into smaller and smaller pieces until you no longer have a plate. It's presupposing that "plates" are an inherit physical property "out there" that would exist without human categorization.

Yes, but less then a plate, and more a piece of cake, carpet, forest or sea.
