Reducing complex shapes to topology only muddies the discussion. The Pentagon and Apple HQ toruses. Humans are also toruses when you consider the alimentary canal!

I would argue that humans are not topologically equivalent to toruses as most humans have many holes beyond the alimentary canal.

Yes, but, essentially.

Is a torus made of swiss cheese not still a torus?

... ... correct.

I just want to point out verisimilitude's perfect response, without being too showy by responding directly[0]

Apple HQ also has many other holes besides the park in the middle.

A pentagon is absolutely a circle - for sufficiently large values of five.

hahaha. Amazing.
