Samefagg, add for clearity:
I mean apriori truths with objective truths.
In my opinion, certain statements about "laws of nature" are objective truths. But these truths are empirical and depend on observations.
It could be possible that one perfect rational individual is for some reason unablet to make the same observation and therefor, unware of some fact. The philosophers call this state "epistemic unluck".

For instance, in the far future there will be a time when the light of galaxies far away will not longer be able to reach us, because the Hubble expansion will become faster than the speed of light. At this time, a super intelligente observer would be unable to discover the truth largness of our universe. They would simply leak the information to come to this inference.
