So long as the criteria that serves as the basis for the judgment is standardized, there ought to be no problem with being able to judge things objectively.
wouldn't the definitions in themselves be subjective of those who define them? the standardization of someone's subjective opinion on what criteria to include and what to omit would not remove the fact that a living person made choices based on some sort of belief, whether knowingly or not.
