Why is that relevant?   Objective truth doesn't depend on how many people
are aware of it or accept it.  It's true for everyone, whether they know
and accept it or not.   Those who don't know it are simply ignorant, and
those who dispute it are simply wrong.

Subjective truth is a very different matter.  If a truth is subjective
then those who dispute it are not wrong, it *isn't true* for them, and
if someone insists it must be true for them then *he* is wrong.
