That definition includes things that aren't true. (The evidence could be in error.) Does that matter?

There is subjective truth, & it is hard for humans to be neutral observers, but that hardly means that an objective reality doesn't exist.

There is only subjective truth when it is about the subject & then it's objective. Eg I think coffee ice cream is yummy. I really do.

You might consider personal tastes akin to personal truths but I have never claimed to.

'I like coffee ice-cream' is a truth claim only in that it claims a personal taste. If some1 else says I don't like it, they're just wrong

This is not subjective. I have the right answer. Someone else answers a different question if they say 'I hate coffee ice cream.'

.In same way, my claim 'I am a woman' does not become a subjective truth because you, a different subject, are not a woman.
