Take a car crash for example, even with a dozen witnesses no two
people see exactly the same thing.
Take you for example.
You are not what I think you are, you are not even what you think
you are, you are what you are.
People all the time (especially "reporters") are claiming to be
"objective" when all they are presenting is a subjective point of
view.
