You're kidding. An observation can be so subjective. Even more so than a theory or a fact. An observation is sort of a second cousin to an opinion, is it not? And we both know you can't have an opinion without having some degree of faith in it.
I was hoping this was just semantics. It seems to be a much bigger problem. We are teetering on the edge of mysticism here.
