No, no, no. You cannot reasonably say 'I believe in objective truth and also that subjective, erroneous things can be true.' You can muck about with the word 'truth' until you give the impression this makes sense but, in fact, it does not.

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.
