Are these claims to absolute truth or are they relative statements?
Um.... That depends how you define blue. And how you perceive colors. Exhibit A, The Dress.
And as for the second one.... That's a round estimate, isn't it? And it doesn't have any meaning to someone not familiar with the unit of measurement used.
The Sun is 23,000 Nemos sunny. Is that objective truth?
