Counting provides epistemic objectivity (the only kind of objectivity required for math or for science). We can know that the statement "there are four things over there" is true or false. It does not provide an objective ontology for "four", regardless of how much intersubjectivity may be present. "Four", as a descriptor, is necessarily ontologically subjective. A concept, a word, a term that we have made up as a referent for x.
There are four trees - epistemic.
The trees are four - ontological.
