This suggests the reverse is true, that every hole is at minimum a tube.

I'm throwing out all my cups today. I'll jut drink from my plates.

also, cups and plates are not equal topologically, because a cup has handle with a hole in it, and plate doesn't

So we finally realise that the topological notion of "hole" doesnt really capture the natural language concept of a hole.

Perhaps the cups with one hole are the real solo cups.

Not all cups have that. I would consider that more a mug.
