There is a clear distinction although I accept I never directed your attention to how I phrased it personally, when I did. And I did. That you haven't seen it or understood it doesn't mean it wasn't there.It would be wholly irrelevant here.Maybe some time refreshing yourself in sampling theory might help?Yeah, I agree because I have subjective evidence for the fact that evidence is understood by naive people as something objective. Sure.Evidence is defined as being public and repeatable.

Not really. You haven't put the period on the distinction between subjective and objective. I'm pretty sure, having read summaries of the last 2500 years of philosophy, you can't.
Also, I haven't published any philosophy so whatever I say wouldn't be in any summary. I suspect it still wouldn't if I ever published my ideas.
So you're pretty sure "I can't", hey? Dummer and dummer.
Good. I'm so impressed when you go into the details of your fathomless expertise.Look. Statisticians have found ways to approximate objective with subjective without requiring constraints on subjective re objective. All that need be done is use two independent sets of subjective categories of data and relate them with some objective (mathematical) measure.
So, statisticians do routinely make a clear distinction between objective and subjective evidence after all. I thought you wanted to say that we can't make a distinction between subjective and objective!? I thought you wanted to say that all evidence could only be objective!? Beat me!
So, whatever could be "two independent sets of subjective categories of data" if not subjective evidence? Or is it something statisticians are able to conjure out of thin air?!
You're good at making irrelevant comments.So here we are stuck between the subjective and the real place. No wonder philosophy is declining so agonizingly.
