Plato, once you've said that only subjective opinions exist, that's a non-starter - a conversation-stopper.

Anything you say after that, or indeed, anything that anyone says ever, could also be met by 'Only subjective opinions exist' -
Saying that doesn't really get us anywhere!

To summarise, in my opinion, you are treating

'Only Subjective opinions exist', as if it was an Objective statement
