You and vouwfietsman can't know what kind of code asdfsa32 is rejecting.

What if it was rejected on an objective basis? You can't know, so you have to err on the side of caution, but you didn't.

So it's not embarrassing at all. In fact, it is more embarrassing to double down without knowing more.

It's a fallacy because you can always say that the choice of an objective metric was subjective, so everything is subjective.
