opie and chthulu, please excuse posters for using something more similar to the dictionary definition of documentary and not your own.

Indeed, the dictionary definition includes objectivity - but in that case, there is no such thing as a documentary film, as there is no such thing as an objective informational film. Facts are always left out, regardless of intention. Which makes it inherently subjective.
In essence - the dictionary is wrong and as long as people think a documentary
can be objective, they are lying to themselves and doing themselves a disservice.
