In your case, it does. You believe that all one has to do is carry a
basket and pick up "truths" lying around on the ground upon seeing,

Right after you address my point. Is it not

Is that synonymous with "objective"? If not,
how not?

It has been attempted in the past, where a person is actually operating
(behind) the 'robot', and it is not the machine itself acting. The question
assumes that either a machine is acting like a human, or a human is
pretending to be a machine (capable of acting like a human). If not, why

This country was based on the attitude that the people come before the
government. Maybe you should move to a desert island and start your
own dictatorship of one.
The Constitution was not based on political correctness, there was no
such thing in 1776.
It is not a violation of civil rights to willfully hire a white male
