“Subjective” is a term with several established uses: in one of these it is opposed to “objective,” in another to “judgmental.” When my critics describe the idiosyncratic features to which I appeal as subjective, they resort, erroneously I think, to the second of these senses. When they complain that I deprive science of objectivity, they conflate that second sense of subjective with the first.17
