How are you defining "objective" in relation to someone's inherently subjective utility function? That makes no sense.

I understand the rest of your point, but the underlying assumption is very wrong.

I agree it's an unfortunate word choice, but I couldn't think of a better way to word it without making the post significantly longer and I assumed most people would understand what I meant. If you have a better way to phrase it, I'd love to hear it- I don't say that sarcastically.
