Which is exactly hidden changing of word meaning to push own 
opinion which disgusts me.

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/objective

"not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering 
and representing facts; not dependent on the mind for existence; 
actual:"

"opinion" pretty much annihilates "objectivity" when used in same 
sentence.

If statistical opinion sounds "objective" enough for you, I may 
propose to start changing laws of Physics by voting. Why would it 
object if all reasonable people say so?
