No, Dan, it's not that subjective.

so "imminent" could mean in ten minutes, or an hour, or tomorrow. So if you can't time it exactly, describing some possible occurrence as imminent is just subjective. Right, Dan? Is that it?

It's a rhetorical evasion, of course. Repukes do nothing but evade questions.
