> people describing things as beautiful in an objective way
All people who have passed a certain intellectual threshold recognize that when another person says "beautiful" or "lovely" or "right" without giving reasons, they're expressing a personal opinion, although perhaps one informed by years of experience in a particular field.
It's not necessary to preface every opinion with boilerplate signifying that the writer is a human being with a limited perspective and that the opinions they express aren't intended to be absolute pronouncements on the nature of objective reality. It's understood.
