You already identified another word that isn't so easily confused with work [1], so there is no point in changing my message since you can do it mentally. I intentionally used the same word for [1] and [3] with annotations (the ones between square brackets) so as to make it clear that the word “work” has at least 2 relevant meanings here, and how it easily leads to the fallacy of conflating information with its physical representation when not distinguished.

In any case, I see that notwithstanding my argument to the contrary, you insist in conflating information (a work [1], in the terminology above) with its physical representation [2], as you showed with your example of a couch. When arguments or messages are ignored or can't be understood by one of the speakers it is of no use to continue discussing, therefore I will not. I leave it to you to find the mistakes in your reasoning if you are interested in doing so.
