Do you also argue that the books on my bookshelves don't really exist in this universe, since they can be found in the Library of Babel?
Gee, what do you think?
I don't really wish to play word games here. Obviously there is some physical thing made of paper and ink on your bookshelf. Equally obviously, Borges was writing fiction when he told us about Babel. But in your thought experiment, something containing the same information as the book on your shelf exists in Babel.
Do you have some point in asking this?
