Can some one tell me why a different perspective supposes you are
objective or have greater objectivity than someone with a broad
perspective?

The way you folks use perspective is consistent with the
psychological concept of a perception filter. If your perception is
such that it has no filter than you need only one perspective.

Ditto's with objectivity and frames of reference.

Zen training allows one to shed your version of perspective.
