Marc, I definitely appreciate that view and in any number of other conversations, I'd be making the same point.
What I had hoped to do in this conversation was discuss something beyond the subjective. Or rather to ask if it was possible, and what it might look like, if we tried to define something normally thought of as subjective.
I sometimes feel like I'm trying to have one conversation and everyone else is having another. I'm trying to apply serious critical analysis and most other people seem to keep saying "it's subjective - there's no point to trying to analyse it!"
But, like Sisyphus, I will persevere!
