1. Accurately estimate the OB contact pointSo lets hear your aiming system in complete detail. Please include details of your "accurate estimation" process
1. Accurately estimate the OB contact point
2. Accurately estimate how far to aim CB center from OB contact point
3. Accurately estimate how much squirt/swerve to compensate for
It gets more and more accurate the more I do it, to the point that some days I hardly miss - but it's never "objective", even though it might seem that way, even to me. It's really just more and more accurately estimated.

The meaning of objectivity has evolved a bit here in the aiming forum.
p.s. Have I missed Stan's semiannual meltdown and self-exile?
There's a lot of nice aim advice, free of cost, here on AZ.
Can we use objective and subjective as the dictionary definitions?
A point one can see on an object ball is objective--literally a target objective.
A point in space, like ghost ball center, is subjective, unless you aim through that point to an objective rail point or a real place.
We have objective and subjective targets, and objective and subjective aim components ("aim cb center to strike between the number 1's printed as facing you on the 11-ball" is objective) and "it's about a half-ball hit or so" is by nature subjective.
The definition is actually a point everybody can see (not "visualize", but see with their actual eyes).A point one can see on an object ball is objective--literally a target objective.

This whole aiming forum exists in a universe rampant with "alternative facts."

The definition is actually a point everybody can see (not "visualize", but see with their actual eyes).
And there's still the subjective task of hitting it with the corresponding point on the CB, which nobody can see (but which can be estimated to a workable degree of accuracy after much practice).
These are some of the obvious reasons aiming can never be fully "objective".
