This has been mentioned a few times in the past.

I 'thought' we could look at it.

And see what we can see,

There is of course much more then just the definitions.

In dealing with anything.

As well as different states of consciousness.

In thinking and reflecting on anything.

There is a point to start from.

Perhaps not these, but it seems the most used.

"input, need more input!"

How do you think of things or others or yourself.

From your feelings and things going on within-subjectively,

or from a somewhat detached perspective-objectively.

And even in communication, do we do both?

I think so.

Neither one is wrong.

And I think they can work together.

from wikipedia-

Credibility refers to the objective and subjective components of the believability of a source or message.

Traditionally, credibility has two key components: trustworthiness and expertise, which both have objective and subjective components. Trustworthiness is a based more on subjective factors, but can include objective measurements such as established reliability. Expertise can be similarly subjectively perceived, but also includes relatively objective characteristics of the source or message (e.g., credentials, certification or information quality). Secondary components of credibility include source dynamism (charisma) and physical attractiveness.
