You recently posted an interesting article on the way English words for objective truth and falsehood are contaminated with evaluative senses of good and evil etc. I cannot say whether this is a local hang-up of our culture or a more general property of human nature; either way, anyone who aspires to think "objectively" will desire (and need) the moral support of others with the same kind of aspiration.
