2. Reason / A. Nature of Reason / 5. Objectivity

22358	Scientific objectivity lies in inter-subjective testing [Popper]
	Full Idea: The objectivity of scientific statements lies in the fact that they can be inter-subjectively tested.
	From: Karl Popper (The Logic of Scientific Discovery [1934], p.22), quoted by Reiss,J/Spreger,J - Scientific Objectivity 2.4
	A reaction: Does this mean that objectivity is the same as consensus? A bunch of subjective prejudiced fools can reach a consensus. And in the middle of that bunch there can be one person who is objecfive. Sounds wrong.
