Subjective is an opinion based on personal and sociological interpretations. One can have a false opinion of gravity, but that will not change the rate of fall of that apple. Structures disciplines, such as science and math, have truths. Unstructured disciplines, such as art and philosophy are based on opinion. Granted this is the Cliff notes version, but get the idea?
And I am not dismissing philosophy on any level, nor would I art. Now a specific art piece or philosophical argument ...
