facts are subjective
facts
are subjective in that they are only a fact if during a conversation or
specific frame of reference we agree they are facts. E.g. The Earth is
a globe and that's a fact. Really, because its kind of fat in the
middle and that's a fact. Really, because its fatter in the southern
hemisphere than it is in the northern hemisphere so really its a pear
shape? Really, what percentage of difference between diameters of a
hemisphere qualify as pear shaped? Does "=" signify and equation or an
assignment? In some languages your simple equation would be written
"==" not "=", so yes subjective.
