If I could be so bold as to suggest....jorg has a more expansive or permissive view of subjectivity. That which is related to subjects. What you might call objective, jorg might call intersubjective.
Intersubjectivity could qualify as epistemic objectivity.....but it might not (and often doesn't) qualify for ontological objectivity.
Let me give you an example. Is a venomous snake actually terrifying, is that a property of the snake? Or is it, more accurately, a property of the terrified observer (granted, many observers feel that way, still...not all)? A function of how we separate figure from background. Signal from noise.
