A thing doesn't have to be fundamental in order to be exact. If individual electrons are fundamental, an "entity" consisting of one electron in a definite location, and the other electron in another definite location, is not a vague entity.
The problem is not reduction per se. The problem discussed here is the attempt to identify definitely existing entities with vaguely defined entities.
