Suggestive + Objective Claims

When someone makes a statement that can be determined as true or false, they are making a claim. Any claim can be seen as correct or incorrect, however its' classification depends on the context of the statement. The context of the statement justifies whether it is either subjective or objective.

A subjective claim is a statement that is true in some people's opinion, and false in others based on their bias toward the subject or situation. Recently I was playing basketball in the gym on campus, where somebody on my team mentioned that someone on the opposite team was annoying. The player on the other team may or may not have been annoying. My teammate obviously was biased towards the situation, since the player was on the other team. The statement is therefore subjective.

An objective claim is a statement which, like a subjective claim, can be true or false. However, Objective claims have no room for bias. It is not dependent on the audience. Let's go back to the gym, where it was stated that one player was 6'7" tall. The player might have been 6'7" tall, and might have not. The answer is not affected by personal bias, and therefore, is an objective claim.
