Is that what you mean by "objectivity"?
Now we are going somewhere!

Not my meaning but from merriam-webster


A ha, I closed the chapter too soon. I missed this part.

Yes I agree with some part the definition in that dictionary:

"expressing or dealing with facts
or conditions as perceived without
distortion by personal feelings,
prejudices, or interpretations "


But I do not agree that the process of interpretation -for example- is
ALWAYS regarded as "subjective".

You can take a look at the process of interpretation in science, for
example. The interpretation can actually be done objectively. The
validity of the interpretation is tested further to determine whether
the conclusion is correct or not.

On differrent note (again, taking an example from science), something
can be done objectively but could still lead to a wrong conclusion!

So in the final analysis:
1. To arrive at the truth, objectivity is needed in many cases. But
not ALL cases.
2. Although in many cases being objective is the first requirement, it
does not necessarily follow that the conclusion is guaranteed to be
correct.
You can say objectively that your belief is written explicitly in your
scripture. But there is no guarantee that everything written in your
scripture is true. This is a matter of faith. If some scripture
contain a verse that says: "God manifest as a Pink Unicorn" can you
accept that? Yet, you define "objectivity" as a belief that conform to
what is being written explicitly in the scripture!.
3. In many instances of life, we can find some examples where
subjectivity can lead a person to a correct conclusion. In fact many
decisions in our life were based on feelings and intuitions.
