 From personal experience I would say yes ;-)

But my question was a technical one.

As was pointed out by MEP Willi Rothley in the debate in JURI in June
2003, "new" is objective, but the judgement of a "person skilled in the
art" is inherently subjective (my texts says).

If I challange a patent in court for being "obvious", do I challange the
"person skilled in the art" who said it was "non-obvious"?
