No, not really even that... It's a typical postmodernist misinterpretation of
quantum physics or indeed relativity to think that it confirms their relativist
beliefs about truth and objectivity. The sort of objective observations that are
made unobtainable by quantum physics are on the atomic or subatomic scale. As
far as anything that (except in very contrived circumstances) impinges on our
everyday life goes, objectivity is still a perfectly reasonable goal and belief
in objectivity a reasonable position.
FWIW.
