If you need the poster to dumb down their statements so that you can follow, perhaps you're in the wrong thread.
Or you could learn to express yourself clearly.

That might be true in one sense, but that's not the sense I mean. There can be objective facts about subjective states.  "To discover truth is better than to believe in lies" is a value judgment that only matters because in most situations it is objectively true.

It is true in all senses - it is definitional.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
