Why? Doesn't that alter the common definiton of objective?
It seems to me you are now using definition:
1) Derived from the material and not the mental
earlier you described objective as
2) Identical for all observers using the same definition
In order to avoid inconsistency, you consider 2) to
be an effect of 1) and not the reverse, correct?
