   Oh I see, yes, you're right - science will never be able to claim   
   "absolute" knowledge, 'cos that's not how it works - but it always   
   continues to approach it.

   We'd have to define "subjectivity" a little more closely for me to be   
   _that_ dogmatic; and I'm aware that there are circumstances in which   
   subjective experience _is_ the phenomenon under investigation - but,   
   generally, no.
