Objectivist metrics and objective metrics are not the same thing. Relativists have use of every fact a realist does to make whatever case they choose to make. Perhaps fuzziness is a component of your view of relativism, not a consequence of relativism?
That, for example, somethings harmfulness or misery is the reason that a culture has a prohibition against it - the contents of harm, the contents of misery. Why do you and I see harm where others do not, and why do we fail to see the harm that others do? Or, to put it more specifically in a limited context, if it's not realism, and it's not nihilism - do we think that our tendencies to see X can truly be explained by individual preference, and what sense, then, do we make of the sheer existence of cultural agreement?
-and all of that, premised on the notion only that fuzziness would be an issue - it's all moot if fuzziness is the true state of affairs. Not a problem, just an accurate description.
