So where do the supposed limitations of objectivity come in? What value can be attained by switching off objectivity in this scenario?

  Person A will give many reasons why person B should switch to A's style, and A shouldn't switch to B's style. There seldom, if ever, any objectivity in those arguments.

    And sometimes, people beat each other with sticks to resolve a disagreement. There isn't any objectivity in those arguments either. In my mind, this, and what you said, make a case for objectivity in all discourse, not against. I really can't get any clearer than that.

      Unfortunately if A is willing to resort to subjective arguments that pretend to objectivity, and B takes the high road, by default B will wind up having to switch to A's style because that seems to be the easiest way to bring peace. Therefore there is real motivation for people to make non-objective arguments.
