How do you objectively measure anything? You come up with hypotheses for why they are the way they are, perform tests, and examine the results.
For example, one hypothesis I have is that he will deny anything even a little related to him having a sexual attraction to prepubescent children. That would imply that even if I asked relatively innocuous questions like whether he finds any prepubescent children to be cute and good looking, he will say "no". Then I can actually ask this question, and put my hypothesis up against the possibility of being falsified. Of course there may be other explanations if I observe the predicted results, but I can always perform more experiments too.
Dissident Sound (nprofile…8jf4) can come up with similar experiments in order to test whether the dictionary definition of these terms are what people care most about.
