The point is my statement of the factual impossibility of representing reality

My post is applicable only to an apple, that particular apple, falling.
And my conclusion is that the actual falling of that particular apple escapes an accurate description.
If you compare the observations on the falling of that apple with the one computed with the theory, you only learn something about the limits of the theory. (mind you, nobody expressed the theory, just vaguely invoked it, except me who said apples fall downward). If you care, follow the chain of the posts.
