My high-school physics class spent a lot of time talking about distances, and time, and forces, and velocity, and accelerations, and vectors. Neither distance, time, force, acceleration, velocity, nor vectors are objects; they are concepts we’ve formulated to characterize particular patterns in the ways objects behave. They sure seemed useful to me. So I’m inclined to reject this claim.
