We disagree on that. My definition of "fully objective" is that no judgement, or only the most simplistic judgement, is required of the player. For instance, what if a system produced cut angles in degrees as the solution? Is aiming still "objective" if the player has to estimate how to aim a 23° cut? A mathematically accurate solution may not be "objective" to the player.
I think for the purposes of CTE and whether it is objective the issue of how practical it is or even if possible to use is secondary. There is no evidence that CTE is objective other than "it's 3D...perceptions... round barn!!!." I'd like to see simply how it works before even thinking about practicality. For that reason I'm leaving out the player's ability to use the system in my definition of objective.
Ok now we have a little more clarity. So major fractions are examples of CB/OB features that can be easily seen and should be able to be used to produce a shot line that the cueball must travel down? Is that correct?
In other words: A system can be objective when it comes to providing an aiming solution, but the actual implementation of the system's solution is subjective. I agree with that.
I wonder how you can objectively aim an outside spin thin cut when you have to aim to MISS the ball and let deflection take it back to the ball.

I am not anyone's problem. You and Pat exist in this tiny sliver of the Internet. The larger world is happily learning and using cte and other good aiming systems without the slightest idea who I am or who you are.

About whom was this written (“from Facebook”)? What tournament and when? And what was that person’s accomplishment in the tournament?From Facebook:
What a fun yet challenging weekend for me. Praise Jesus

You are the water and sunshine that makes me grow. I would not be the person I am today without you. Love you.
It feels great to enjoy life again, thank you Jesus for saving me.
This is funny as hell, Brians, Poolology uses the exact same portions, fractions, or edges, of the balls to aim with as CTE does, and other that the use of the side of my cue I would point out that they are the only things I use to aim with after a quick initial glance at the ball positions on the table, yet somehow for Poolology these fractions are objective but for the purpose of CTE are not, never have been and never ever will be.
Respectfully, you don't seem to understand what the argument has been about for the last 25 years. It has nothing to do with the ball fractions.
No, it was about objectivity, and we in the CTE world use your objective fractions just like other people do. Why does it not count for our side of the argument?
Yes, the ball fractions you aim at are more or less objective but, again, that has nothing to do with the issue.
Well anything beyond the objectivity thing in my view has just been a personal vendetta because some people don't like some other people so they set out to demean them. Big of you to admit that, though I'm sure that other fellow whom I no longer acknowledge would do so. Anything beyond that is personal attacks and has nothing to do with how and why many of us use CTE.
