Asking and getting are two different things, just as saying something is 
true, false, or objective does not entail that it is.

That's easy...neither, if you follow and use the gist of my original 
response as a starting point (that's the premise for my response).  The 
gist 
is that some statements are neither true nor false, because they aren't 
statements in the factual sense, only appear to be by syntax. But you are 
free to use a different set of premises to support a different 
concusion....but then you wouldn't disputing my logic at that point, just 
my 
initial assumptions.

We are probably talking about diffrerent definitions of "objectivity" 
here. 
I am using the more formal and philosophical concept.
