>>12974621Ambiguity doesn't imply subjectivity. That is a non sequitur.
An ambiguous statement may have several meanings, but all of the meanings are objective. The statement "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" is a humorous statement that draws from the objectively understood dual meaning of the English word "like". If we didn't both understand these meanings, the humor wouldn't exist. The listener is pruned to think of "like" in terms of it meaning "as", then the next phrase uses it to mean "to enjoy", and the meaning is interpreted incorrectly (this is an objective thing) and then this misunderstanding is objectively understood and it's funny.
The fact that its humorous actually proves that the dual meaning is objective here. There is no subjectivity present. Where is the subjectivity?
When I say "Objective" versus "subjective" here, I am referring to the idea that words and sentences fragments have universal meaning to all speakers of the language, and not a meaning that is unique to any one person. Dialects or idioms that may not be understood by certain subsets of the speakers of a language do not disprove this in any way.
I would like to see an example of a statement that can not be understood in purely objective terms. Give me any combination of words in English, that is not word salad, that is subjective. If there exist multiple meanings/it's ambiguous, that is not a proof of subjectivity.
