{{short description|Fallacy}} {{multiple issues| {{More footnotes|date=July 2014}} {{Refimprove|date=June 2014}} }} The '''relativist fallacy''', also known as the '''subjectivist fallacy''', is claiming that something is true for one person but not true for someone else, when in fact that thing is an objective fact. The fallacy rests on the [[law of noncontradiction]]. The fallacy applies only to objective facts, or what are alleged to be objective facts, rather than to facts about personal tastes or subjective experiences, and only to facts regarded in the same sense and at the same time.
