Exactly.
And also P. Enns neglects the functional side of things.
I would be offended if they bomb my uni, not if a student calls me "Sperm".
Anyway, Enns thinks that the functional 'telos' of an object would, for him
and Heidegger, 'diminish' or minimise the object.
But some objects, oddly, only exist for other uses.
E.g. I give to my Aunt Matilda a fleshlight but tells her it's a vase to put
plastic daffs which I also provide.
Cheers,
