Yet the issue isn't the ability to judge, but the truth of any
judgment. In other words, just as we grant that one is entitled to an
opinion, we grant that one is able to judge. We instantly move past
the surface and get to the heart of the matter, which isn't
entitlement or ability, but conformity to reality. Notice that the
dictatorship of relativism never moves past the surface. It's always
prepared to end any dispute with, "You're entitled to your opinion." I
hate this phrase so very much.
