Correct, objectivity is not possible. Human observation is never perfectly neutral.

What we call "objective" is usually just invisible judgment that aligns with our priors. An observer's choices about what to include, exclude, measure, or frame shape reality long before conclusions appear.

Scientific facts are just theories that haven't been proven wrong yet.
