There are so many - SO MANY - ways that "objective reality" can be counter-productive.

For example, I remember reading "For people to change, first they have to feel accepted as they are".

This is some "objective reality" people should keep in mind when disclosing "objective reality".

Yes, there's a hell of a lot of objective reality that these just-the-facts hardbitten-realist people are usually either unaware of or deliberately denying. This frequently results in suggestions that would only be useful for a spherical cow.
