These "misconceptions" you merely insinuate as if you are some authority on the matter and in a frankly complacent and inadequate way. Are you claiming that that a name like "cat" that can be analysed in terms of other names (eg. leg, head, tooth) can be an EP? That any name that be so broken down can at the same time be "elementary"? Try to argue more clearly. You might learn something.
