"At best, the word objective might mean "agreed to be true by a large group of people.""
No, that would merely be intersubjectivity. Objectivity (epistemological) means that accurate predictions can be made. Science is objective because it makes accurate predictions. Intersubjectivity without reliance on an objective method can lead to things like group-think.

I agree. I meant that in the context of morality, objectivity cannot be assumed to mean the same thing that it does for science.
