For example: if a train moves at 60 km/h and a person walks forward in that train’s aisle with 5 km/h, then the speed of that person (relative to an outside observer) was once thought to be objectively 65 km/h; simply the sum of those speeds. But since Einstein we now calculate that speed to be objectively slightly less than 65 km/h. Neither the objective speed nor the objective law describing said speed has changed: it’s our interpretation/formulation of that law that has.
So a moral objectivist may think today a given act is morally wrong, but s/he could be of a different opinion tomorrow, even though on both days s/he believes the moral judgment of that act to be objectively true.
