* No because understanding is subjective.  You understand or I understand or Joe Smith understands and that is called "subjective".  When we read, we understand.  "Objective" means something exists above and beyond individual understanding.  Indeed, "Objective" means something exists even if no one at all, ever, understands at all.  Since it is a written statement, when it is read, it is read by an individual who (probably) understands it.  Therefore the statement is not an objective truth because it requires the statement be subjectively understood before it can be answered.
