>In other words, a cigar is never *really* just a cigar.
At least we know that within Freudian and Lacanian pyschoanalysis a phallus is not a clitoris or a penis, erect or otherwise. I don't read any epistemic relativism in the quote from Lacan. It's about, broadly, a psychoanalytic theory of signification.
