 Here are some options for resisting the argument (some mirroring responses to the puzzles of material constitution). One can deny CU2 on the grounds that table is the “dominant kind”, and once K comes into existence, it takes F’s place and F is annihilated. Constitutional pluralists can deny CU3 and affirm that F ≠ K, perhaps granting that distinct objects can have exactly the same parts and location, or insisting that F and K have different (e.g., temporal) parts. Or one can deny CU5, insisting that K is only contingently a table and (like F) was once a scattered  fusion.[71]
