I think we all agree here. I am not sure that anyone regular in this
list has ever abandon or proposed to abandon the objective stance.
It is quite the contrary, concerning subjectivity, we make hypotheses,
in general in a way as to make them testable (like comp or the quantum
hypothesis), so that we can develop an objective talk on it, and derive
objective facts from it.
Note that Everett and Deutsch proceed like this. The only way to
suppress the collapse of the wave packet in quantum physics (and
without changing QM like Bohm or de Broglie) is by accepting the
existence of an objective line between objectivity (described here by
the SWE) and subjectivity (described here by sequence of memories in
classical machines).
