Yes. I do wonder. I do suspect.

That's why I wonder at all in the first place what might actually be right or wrong. (Or if that's a good question to ask at all.) Appealing to an objective metric is supposed to do away with that sort of fuzziness. Whether it actually does or not... or whether we actually can appeal to an objective metric, given our cultural prejudices, is a different question.
