Ah! I knew that my Six Sigma green belt would come in handy some day!
Yes, you can say what the correct value of something is, based on
statistical analysis, and you can also state the precision of that value.
Refining your test can produce results with less statistical variance, which
allows for a more precise knowledge of the true value.
You can make similar inferences with life experiences that do not lend
themselves to statistical analysis, and the more experience you have, the
better your understanding of the truth.
But let's get back to the original topic: the notion that since there
isn't an absolute right or wrong, everything is equivalent, as they are all
'gray'. It's a continuum, and it is possible to be closer or further from the
truth.
