Then it is subjective because "we" are defining it and I would argue we are by nature subjective creatures. No way to get around the fact that we are limited by flesh and blood, we are limited by the constructs of our brains, we are limited. Perhaps computers will think further that we can- but they have their own limitations, and we built them, and we will again be perceiving the data they give us through our limited senses. So I still think the most reasonable position is that every position is assailable.

Suppose I define:

Earth = a flat object.

Does that make it true?
