Can we settle this: how many holes does a straw have?

But they are present where you'd expect the material of the object. No one expects a straw to be a solid cylinder, ergo, the central cavity is not a hole.
That's not how it works. It's pretty unanimously understood that a donut has a hole, yet nobody expects material to be there, even though there are donuts without holes.
There are no straws without a hole. A straw without a hole is a stick. The hole is an integral part of the straw.
I see, so like, if it identifies as a hole it's not a hole? So a cheese grater has no holes. But if I jam a screwdriver through the cheese grater, now it has a hole? What if I like the new hole and want to consider it a part of the cheese grater? Do we hold a vote on which hole identifies as a property of the object? Or do objects self-identify? I don't speak cheese grater, this is going to get difficult.
