the main issue is that theoretically you should both be able to get smaller and smaller, but also have a smallest distance. if you accept the concept of the planck length, then technically you would eventually be unable to tell whether or not they are touching because they would shrink to such a small size that it would be impossible to know if they even exist. there is no real life vs. theory because real life expectations are in themselves purely theoretical.
