Agreed.  An "axiom" means that that statement is a fundamental truth.   But
then, if that is "not (your) subjective view", then what is the apparently
*untruthful* view that you do hold?  And, how does it govern your actions or
your ideas--which must, inevitably, be wrong?

Do you really think about what you say?  Or, do you just "shoot from the hip"?
