 In fact, there is no reason why realists cannot agree with anti-realists in regarding the conflict between a punctate geometry and a region-based geometry as merely apparent. Thomas William Barrett and Hans Halvorson argue that the two theories “ … are simply convenient ways of expressing the geometric facts that are more fully expressed by a comprehensive theory” that quantifies over both points and lines. \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) cannot be incompatible according to Barrett and Halvorson because they are in essence the same theory [Barrett and Halvorson 2017]. However, the geometric case is a rather special one.
