If you add that part in, then it all fits wonderfully. But if you don't, it's a slippery slope towards solipsism IMO.
Actally we agree here as well. I realize that "Paul" is a figment of my imagination as well. I don't actually think that my phisical body even exists. Even that is imaginary. So I think we agree here 100%.
