Fine. So you agree that we should be wary of any hypotheses of which the reality of abstract objects is a part?

No, I won't see that in itself as a reason to be wary, since as I said repeatedly I don't know how to parse the property of something being real in this sense.

Personally, I am always wary of hypotheses I don't know how to parse.
