ah, and here lies the issue,
AND precisely the need for objective observation.
The problem is that each individual sees color and shades differently(literally), who is to say that your perception is "more correct" than mine? or vice versa? It's absolutely impossible to have everyone's perception agree with each other. It'll be a mess if any display manufacturer build product based on individual perception.
It is true that in the end "numbers" serve the experience/perception(not individually, but averaged), but "numbers" are also not really just "numbers", they express perception under a controlled environment so that we'll have something to measure upon or as a baseline.
I hope you see the flaws in your logic here.
ADDED:
As for trusting my own validity more than others, I can assure you that it's not because of my ego. It's because I know how easily visual perception can shift and how unreliable it is(much more than other senses), so yes
I trust precision instrument designed to handle such tasks more than my own eyes, and others'.
