No...you are just not as intelligent as you tell yourself you are...so I will break it down even more:
Distinction is of itself as distinctions occur through distinctions.
Your "everything is conditional" observes condition contained within itself as of itself.

Proof is a distinction, if I were to prove a distinction the distinction would be proof thus the proof as distinction is self contained.

I am asking you to prove a distinction as objective real.
You make no attempt to do so.
If you to prove you need a human-based framework and system to apply the concept of distinction.
Whatever the output, i.e. distinction is whatever, it is always conditioned upon the human condition.
The default of reality is that one must always start with the empirical and drill down which end with the human condition.
On the other hand you start with an assumption [all is distinction] but failed to prove it is objective real.
Get educated on this phase of philosophy.
Don't run away, this is critical to the whole issue, response to this philosophy-proper issue, you are scare to know the truth of reality?

To argue with distinction does not create 'distinction-in-itself'.
Distinction is just the method of arguments.

So pure distinction only leaves the distinction of nothing.
You have no argument for or against this without using distinctions.

All of reality is an emergence out of a human-based FS. [not in itself]
Distinction emerge out of all of reality.
Therefore 'distinction' cannot be distinction in itself.

What is more fundamental is reality, existence, being, thing-hood, essence, substance, monad, which are all synonymous and pointing to the same thing.
The point is the above fundamental[s] must precede distinctions, i.e. there must be reality or existence for distinctions to emerge.
Since you claim whatever is reality [including distinction] is absolutely independent of the human conditions and contain within itself, you should add the suffix '-in-itself' to the above most fundamental thing, either
reality-in-itself, existence-in-itself, being-in-itself or thing-in-itself.
Thing-in-itself is most appropriate because it can refer to the most fundamental and anything.
As such, even if one claim a 'distinction-in-itself' it is reduced to the 'existence-in-itself' or the other synonymous fundamental[s].
As such, you need to avoid 'all things are distinctions' which is not accurate and refer to thing-in-itself.
Definition: "the thing-in-itself (German: Ding an sich) is the status of objects as they are, independent of representation and observation."
Agree?

There is no such thing as distinction-in-itself which is absolutely independent of the human conditions.

You cannot logically argue that being precedes distinction while using the distinction of being preceding the distinction of distinction.
