If there’s no way to objectively rate an actors performance, why are there acting schools? Why are there film schools?

Just because you can teach someone to do something that doesn’t automatically mean that you can also objectively evaluate whatever he/she does in the end. I can teach you how to make a pizza, despite not having an objective measure to evaluate the pizza quality.

Acting and film schools don’t give out grades or diplomas? Interesting.

They do but that doesn’t mean it was evaluated based on an objective measure. It just means it was a subjective evaluation.

I get it now. Everyone is an expert on everything and all opinions are equally valid. So my opinion on how to build a bridge is just as important as the opinion of a professional architect, even if my design would collapse, but hey, in my opinion a bridge doesn’t need to be stable, it’s all subjective.

Unfortunately you don’t get it. Even if it is an subjective evaluation (because for a certain thing there is no objective measure) it doesn’t mean all subjective evaluations should have the same weight.

And your example is very bad. Design and statics are two different things. Former is completely subjective, while the latter has objective measures.

Once Again, surprisingly Impscum speaks the truth.
