Objective and true are completely different things. If we are trying to determine whether or not there is an objective reality, I would say yes definitely. If we are trying to determine true reality, well, philosophers have had that as their aim since the very beginning and it has yet to happen. But, like you say, no one has proven that it doesn't exist either.

"Objective reality" would be a reality that actually exists. When I say "true reality" I mean the same thing, a reality that is consistent with fact or reality. I am making the assumption that there is only one objective reality, but if there were more the concept would still apply.
Could you clarify your distinction between an objective reality and a true reality?
