Subjectivity

The Great and Mighty Presto, has come to believe that achieving any sort of universal truth is seemingly impossible due to a little thing called subjectivity. It's no secret that all of you mortals view everything differently, though what The Great and Mighty Presto is referring to is the fact that two mortals may view any one thing and depending on what characteristics of it they decide to fixate themselves upon or exaggerate, their opinions may be polar opposites. Literally any point you wish to make, you can take any sort of detail and twist it to seem utterly disgusting. Two different mortals could view a man eating a bowl of soup, and while one may say "The man ate a bowl of soup", the other may just say "The man forced the vile yellow broth into his mouth, it churning down the front of his face, greasy and wet, as he attempts to choke down the maimed carcass of a pheasant". While you could obviously say "wow that second guy sure gets intense over soup" the point is still that he was able to twist the details in a manner that certainly makes that chicken noodle seem less appetizing. While some mortals may have similar views, in all of The Great and Mighty Presto's obviously extensive experience, he's never encountered two mortals sharing the exact same views on any one thing. This must be why Mortals always bicker over literally everything, and why mortal politics are suck a sticky quagmire, literally anything someone says, can be backed with it just being their own interpretation, no matter how irrational or plainly wrong... The Great and Mighty Presto sees fit to make use of this.
