There is enough of a delta that variations can occur with individual perception. HOWEVER, an object’s intrinsic properties remain its properties, the “common sense” phrase being “facts don’t care about feelings.”
**edited to add:
Science never had a problem with it, PEOPLE claiming to be of science did. It was an ego thing. **arguing from a position of knowledge and education means very little when the primary defense becomes “well that was the best information we had before”, because that heavily infers that because we don’t know what we don’t know, then just about any position of education is a best a crap shoot, and an appeal to ego rather than reasoning.
***I suppose it’s just frustrating to me that if a moron like me can figure it out, how can all these people, claiming to know much more than I and dedicating their lives to such an endeavor, realize so much less?
