This is another slight of hand. 'I believe in objective truth. Look! Here is thing I believe that has much scientific evidence. I also believe all these other unsubstantiated beliefs are true and that there are different ways of knowing.' Then you deny the objectivity of truth

One could say 'I believe cats are mammals & that other mammals are not cats' but you believe in mammals but not the 'catness' of mammals. Equally 'I believe in objective truth & other truths that are not objective' means you believe in truth but deny the objectivity of truth.

Therefore, someone who is criticised for denying objective truth is really being accused of denying the *objectivity* of truth, not denying the truth of things which have been established (provisionally) to be objectively true. Tho many do that too.
