This is intellectual misdirection. Not knowing the precise moment an X becomes a Y does not prove the non-existence of Xs or Ys. For example, when does a small pile of rocks become a big pile of rocks? Regardless of the answer, there are both small rock piles and big rock piles.

There may however never be an answer because humans will never agree on the veritas of the matter. E.g. the debate on when the small human life becomes a human life worth protecting.
The meaning of small and big is relative to some context. In the context of porn, almost any word designates a fetish. If it refers to a group of humans, one could call it a stereotype or objectification. In the context of Porn [Rule 34](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_34) applies, and it affects everything.
