> So your argument that math were a "different realm" with no connection to reality

This straw man was not my argument. My argument is that circles only exist mathematically.

For this argument to work you must implicitly assume that mathematics were a different realm, with no connection to reality.

But it doesn't matter. The definition of a hole doesn't rest on the definition of a circle.

No I don't, and this is still a straw man.
