That's just "Exist as physical objects exist"

Ie., you're asking someone to find you an object with spatio-temporal properties which, as an object, does not have spatio-temporal properties.

Likewise you could ask, "find me a smile?!!" and then deny every example was a smile because "it was only a face smiling!".

"Existence" is defined relative to a context in which it can be evaluated, and it -- in general -- does not imply any particular properties.

"To Exit" in general is "to be found in some domain"

2 can be found in the domain of numbers
