Comments by "greyone40" (@greyone40) on "No, the Historical Truth is Subjective (and Reddit is LYING about me)" video.
I think one big problem here is that we don't have a word for what we mean. History is "an objective truth which we cannot reliably know for certain" does not mean the same as History is "subjective." A good analogy for historians would be the one about the several blind men who were asked about the elephant. This again is not the same as "subjective." Subjectivism is really nonsense, because it believes that there really are different equally valid facts, which is impossible. The Titanic cannot have sunk and also have finished its journey to New York. For my part, I have watched enough of your videos to think that your methods are quite sound.
