That wiki link explains exactly why it's the object in question and not the numbers themselves that are subjective. So, god or numbers, goedels. Is this a popular subject recently?
That two people can use different parameters and come up with two different conclusions is obvious, point is that either of these two people can understand precisely what the other is trying to communicate. The rules they follow and the language they use are identical. What is subjective here is the "knowledge" of the person in question, and again, not numbers. If the numbers themselves could be taken to mean anything between the two people in this example then communicating any idea with precision would be impossible.
Must be a simpler way to describe this. Numbers are a "language" that is standardized and free of interpretation, even though the product of those numbers can be interpreted (and often is) in different ways. For example, 50% success can also be 50% failure. It is 50% regardless. Or 1/2. Or .5...so on and so forth. I'm honestly running out of ways to try and explain this.
