Isn't "good" just as subjective as "things I think are true"?

The problem isn't subjectivity, it's groupthink. "Good but wrong" posts are better than "bad but correct".
Exactly. It's not that interesting to be in a forum where people are only awarded for being in line with the popular opinion. The alternative is to award constructive contributions.
