Eww... whoever the idiot was who thought up PC was obviously getting a lot

But everything is really based on someone's opinions. Data can be
interpreted in different ways, and that leads to many people looking at
the same data and each thinking a different reason behind the data. Same
goes for 'hard facts'. They are meaningless, without someone interpreting
them... and hence, they are opinions and may or may not be right.
Everything is subjective!
