   << Are you looking for an excuse to not use and rely on critical
   thought>>

   Oh hell no. I rely on critical thinking generally speaking.
   However, it's not everything. Critical thinking that starts off
   on a bad foot can end up on a bad food. Continual Scientific
   Checking/rechecking is required on all cognitive systems against
   what apparent evidence there is.

   But I'm a systems thinker. Critical thinking is a system among
   other systems, good for what it's good for. It's a tool in a
   large toolbox and I couldn't imagine not having it available at
   all times. << Do be aware that your experience, and perhaps your
   lack of discipline, only tells us about you. It does't
   generalize to all humans.>>

   Absolutely. That is why I stick so heavily to "subjective".

   I only CAN speak for myself and _hope_ perhaps it might apply to
   others. That is one of my core things right there. Now to the
   can of worms:
   <<No. Remember the National Socialists had many who agreed with
   each other. By your standard here their beliefs and ideology was
   objective. No. Objective means consistent with facts, data and
   an objective method of testing, regardless of consensus of
   humans. Subjective is about 150 million US citizens rejecting
   evolution. Objective is the facts and data that demonstrates
   over and over that evolution happens and has been the basis for
   the diversity of life on the planet.>>

   You're correct. I was overgeneralizing about "subjective".

   Some truths are objectively quantifiable. Some things don't
   succumb to numbers quite so well. Many things take well to
   measurement, some things at present do not.
