Definitely.

All "objectivity" is subjective. It is subjective because

1) we look at phenomena and experience through the lens of our culture and the constraints of our language to describe it

2) While language is wonderful and necessary, it also forces us to think within its constructions... the way two five-finger hands probably led us to conceive of the decimal system.

That's my subjective anwer. I imagine that if one studies logic, you might be able to construct a logical, rational argument without subjectivity. What do the rest of the Hubski Philosphical Society think?
