Sometimes the number of stones in the bucket really does match the number of sheep in the field. If we can’t call that objectivity, we still have to call it something. Intersubjective agreement doesn’t seem like a better name to me, but of course naming is nothing if not subjective ;)
And that can happen by chance. Objective knowledge needs be produced by a reliable mechanism. (Also,”field” is a human concept).
