It highlights the subjective nature of perception and how it influences what we report or believe we see. In fields like home inspection, where observations form the basis of a report, this subjectivity can be particularly significant, and the last thing anyone who writes a report for a living wants is someone else to label their work "subjective"...but isn't that what defines "observation?"
So, a bit of advice. Don't get upset when someone disagrees with your report. After all, it's not the law, it's just the way you see it.
Hello Gary! Isn't that funny that the term 'observation' is obvious, and yet it wasn't on the list of future definitions until you pointed me to it. Now I have 1,501 terms for the Home Inspectors Glossary.
I'd suggest the term 'observation. '

Thank You!
Glad I could help, John! Looking forward to 'observing' the full glossary!
