> How do we know who is "objectively right"?
I don't think we have enough information about OP's situation to say for sure. I agree that many disputes are highly subjective, and there's no way to say who's objectively right. But I also think there are cases where, after listening and understanding both sides, it's pretty clear which side has a better argument.
Objective reality does exist! People are sometimes bad at judging what's objective, especially when emotions run high; but it's not impossible. And, if the question is important, then finding the objectively correct answer is better for the success of the project.
