all truly is relative
Not all relative relationships are equally corelated. Just because the NASA scientists and the psychic friends cannot both guarantee 100% accuracy does not mean that their predictions should get the same amount of sceptisicm and reservation. Even if there are only two choices the odds are not always 50-50.

Condemnation does have to do with certainty, imo, because it is very hard to condemn where there is no certainty. How would that go? I condemn thee, because thee might be wrong. Not a lot of moral force to THAT statement. Show me a relativist who murdered someone or tortured someone over a belief they knew was a relative belief- so you need to show me a confirmed relativist doing harm to others in the name of a belief. Can you think of some group who does that?
