These are all fairly juvenile, incoherent positions, if what these imaginary people mean is that one is somehow "better" than another, on some nebulous, linear scale.

>it all seems subjective

And you need to stop there. Unless you're adopting some sort of Platonic/"music of the spheres" framework, a theory of ideal forms, which I'll be delighted to argue against, then it all IS subjective.

Again, on what scale? Is there some state of perfection you're judging these forms against?
