You simply don't understand how to differentiate between linguistic correspondence and abstraction. People who know philosophy and greater epistemology know these things very well. They know what misplaced concreteness is. Society is a perfect example of misplaced concreteness. There's also the differentiation between belief and experience or perception which you also don't get.

There is no band society, there are only bands. Society is defined by outer human scale and correspondent reification. The fact that it does not jibe with experiential concreteness is why it does not exist. It ONLY exists as an abstraction which is a tertiary downstream complicated human construction. Of course the fuller zen/daoist position is that all constructs don't really exist(I happen to agree) but this is obviously the case for SOCIETY.
