I think you're confusing the objects themselves with our cognitive concepts which refer to said objects. Because I don't think that you would deny that there are such things as what we commonly refer to as stones for example, right?

The key issue here is what I bolded which once again points back to the abovementioned; Our conceptualization of existence, or rather, the objects and phenomena that are suspended in it.

What I was hinting at was that "I dont think there's any true answers" is a claim that, like every possible claim one can think of, owes its existence to, well, existence itself.
