I'm not making a prescriptive statement. I'm telling you how things are and not how they should be.

Yeah, no. I disagree. What I've been hammering on is that a territorial claim is NOT objective, but rather prescribed by human institutions. If you don't agree, that's fine. But the fact remains: there's no objective fact that determines whether Corsica belongs to France or itself: only human opinions. I can't make the point any more thoroughly than I already have.

a territorial claim is NOT objective

That's correct. That's what i've been trying to tell you, that the subjective matters and that we can't just ignore it and pretend like we can establish an objective framework for everything where human relations are concerned, which is ultimately what international relations are just on a larger scale.
