The problem I see is that in fact any experience, from sensed-objects to
any thought process are all equal in their availability to science. All
is as much objective, or subjective for that matter. A vase on a table
is available to science, as are the brain processes that are thought
processes of individuals. The distinction objective/subjective is
therefor false, or rather not different from a statement like the earth
is not the moon.
