Richard,

For me subjectivity is not the same as arbitrary and it may be that we have
different notions of the merits of subjective knowledge. Subjectivity can
(and should) be a very high form of intellectual reasoning, a means of
transcending the limits raw data, gaining real understanding and thereby
producing results that are art.

Certainly we all know that if you are ill and visit two different physicians
and they both review the same data, one of them might be able to "see beyond
the numbers" to recommend a better course of action--using subjective skills
to assess the situation. The same is true for printing - I want both skills
because neither is of much value without the other.
