It is one ball, is it not? The ball is composed of several parts, is it not? 
What is so hard to understand about this?

Is it one ball, or is it ball parts?

One ball made of assembled ball parts..a ball is defined as assembled ball parts.
What is so hard?

So is it one thing or many things? You're saying that it is one thing, but it has parts. How can it be both? That seems to be saying that one thing is two things.

Why do you think it can't be both? Even its parts have parts, but they are still individual parts (however arbitrarily defined).

It's possible that I could make one long stick by gluing two short ones together.
