except that continents quite plainly aren't just about landmasses, they're defined by culture as well. Hence why most people these days consider "oceania" a continent, and why india and the middle east don't really fit smoothly into any standard continent.
There seems to be a better name for what you are talking about. Fair point about Oceania though, that's as uncontinental as Europe.
