Given a certain chunk of information, the evidence in it isn't subjective. Priors may be subjective, although there is a class of cases where they're objective too. "It is difficult to tell who is right" is an informative statement about the human decision process, but not really informative about probability.
Well, two agents with the same priors can easily come to different conclusions as a result of observing the same evidence. Different cognitive limitations can result in that happening.
