Even though I agree with the nihilistic view, you're right. Too often people declare certain positions are 'objectively true' ("objective" in this way is usually a euphimism for "common sense" or "obvious") without actually looking at the arguments on the other side.
I don't know why people think this is more acceptable when talking about philosophical topics rather than physics or sociology.
