You're missing something like A, in yours. And perhaps you can seen why A is a subjective bit in my version.
It's not meant to be a 100% deductive argument. The conclusion is a reasonable conclusion, not the conclusion of a logically valid argument.
And A is objectively true, because it would be true regardless of what you may think about it.
See why I don't like the subjective vs. objective question?
Pretty much any subjective taste, opinion, contains some elements of a factual nature. Like my taste in food, is predicated on particular flavor combinations, etc...
The reason your above is subjective, is because C is only true for you, and follows from a subjective component like A, not P, that you just didn't include.
C wouldn't follow from P if you didn't care how people reacted to you, or found the risk of getting caught negligible to the point of being non-existent.
