I didn't say that "I am sitting in a red chair" can be objectively
proven.  I said that there are no such things as objective facts --
only things that people will agree or disagree on.  The things
everyone will agree on, we call "objective facts".  The few people who
won't agree on these "objective facts" we call "insane" or
"colorblind" or what have you.  But these "objective facts" are really
no more "objective" than any other opinions -- they are just nearly
universally held opinions.
