Thanks, but I don't need the explanation about the difference and nature of objectivity and subjectivity and don't need to be told that it's not a value or worthiness dichotomy. Admittedly, the HN crowd clearly heavily favor what they think is objectivity, so it's easy to assume everyone thinks like that on here! I do think we sort-of agree that BOTH subjective and objective measures need assessment and they're both difficult to measure.

The purpose of the explanation is to point out the flaw in your argument that if hiring was purely quantitative and objective then it would be a solved problem. To quote you: "If it were quantifiable and one could reliably screen based on "objective" criteria, it would have been a solved problem by now" Given that was the premise of your entire argument, once that flaw is exposed the rest of your argument falls apart.
