I'm sorry- I never read the post where you pointed to a table. Where was that. And how could we possibly see the table?

OH - wait a minute- I see you are using an abstraction (langauge) and further abstracting it in a metaphor, and you think it is the same thing as a table (and for the record even though you and someone else may agree that it's a table you may not be perceiving it the same way- but the inexact and symbolic nature of language helps get around that).
