How does any of this change whether or not the observations are objective?
The villagers' "objective" conclusion is based on an inadequate subset of the available evidence. They're ignoring the fact that wolves exist.
Bringing the example into the present day, suppose the boy pulls a fire alarm. The firefighters arrive and there's no fire. The boy pulls the alarm again and again the firefighters find no fire. This goes on and on but the firefighters keep coming - because they've drawn an
actual objective conclusion that there
could be a fire.

I think one of RAZD's issues, and I think it's rather prevalent in the general population... is that some people think that just because it's objective and evidenced... then it's necessarily "real."
My issue is that the villagers conclusion is
not really objective.
