Ok AnssiH, I thought I understood the metaphysical sense in your use of the word "Ontology" in your previous post, which was why I said "I have to agree..."
So you are saying it all depends on your view, or "model" of reality, and that there may be different, yet equally valid, views of reality.
Did I get it right?

Hell, I have no idea how
I see it...
Anyway, I think the point you are making is an insightful one.
