No, that wasn't my point, not at all.

John:

No, my point is that, whenever I talk to self-proclaimed 'subjectivists', they use 'subjective' in the same way that I use the term 'objective'.

We disagree as to the terms, but when I explain to them what I mean by 'subjective', they tell me that I'm wrong, that my view of 'subjectivism' isn't subjectivism at all.

They then proceed to explain what they mean by 'subjectivism', and it--almost without exception--corresponds to what I mean by 'objective'.

I simply find this quite curious...

Happy Holidays!

Yes, my point was your observation argues for the "subjective" point of view, whatever that is.....I find this a self-fulfulling observation and curiously fun, to boot.

Cheers, John
