When I look at the mirror, whom do I see there: a) myself or b) my reflection?
(A) would be correct if what you saw were the same nature (B) would be correct if what you saw had no links with you
This example shows how far we are from any results of what the reference is about. In some context saying "I was referring to X", X would be Y, but in some other ones that same X would be Z. How and why in some cases X is Y, and X is Z - we don't know, because we don't know how to avoid such paradoxes as mine - the Mirroring Semantic Problem.

That's a personal question and thus, what does it have to do with philosophy?

That's a personal question and thus, what does it have to do with philosophy? To which objects we're referring when we speak about something, and after that - what ontology we get. With my clunky language I'd better post a link to the article that touches this problem: people.loyno.edu/~folse/Quineindeterminacy.html
