You have said this repeatedly, but you have never given any reason
for it or tried to persuade anyone else of it. Since there have been
several examples already suggested which seem to contradict it quite
clearly, I would be far more interested in hearing arguments, than
simply a repetition of your opinion. This is actually an ontological
issue rather than an epistemological one, so epistemology is somewhat
irrelevant.
By the way, you have still not explained what you mean by
'individual'. You restricted yourself to physical individuals, which
is clearly far too restrictive and in any case begs the question at
issue. Do you have a more general account of what you mean?
