It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to talk about the value or importance of water as subjective. That comment about water is demonstrably not based solely in or a misattribution of some fact about me, arising from me alone as a single human subject, even if I also happen to value water subjectively as well. Simply put, the purported value or importance of water is not a Fool fact, or a Nudger fact, or an Ahri fact. It's a water fact. It's at least relative...but then water is also important to non human things and to non biological interactions. This is extremely apparent here as we live on waterworld - but we can repeat this observation throughout the galaxy.
We can certainly come up with purely subjective truth assertions about water - don't get me wrong..but to an objectivist, those statements would either be wrong, or need to be translated for content accuracy - be that subjective, relative, or noncognitive.
What literally is unimportant to these distinctions, is whether or not a god exists. The truth statements are still categorized as whatever they would be in a world with or without gods. If things are truly only subjectively important than even when we add a god to the universe, they are still truly only subjectively important. If things can be objectively important, then if we add a god..or subtract a god, they can still be objectively important.
