Certainly not. I'm saying it's useful for people to have symbols labelled "Stuart Armstrong" and "Harry Potter" (with very different properties - fictional being one), without needing either symbol defined in terms of quantum mechanics.
Something defined in terms of quantum mechanics can still fail to correspond....you're still on the mail and therefore talking about issues orthogonal to grounding.
