The paper reveals various subject loadings of the ontological scientific realism idea. The author shows that the belief on the objective reality existence is matter of faith, and the opinion on the real existence of particular elements in this reality depend on subject's volition. Taking this into account, the author concludes that the ontological scientific realism is wholly arbitrary. In spite of the arbitrariness, this realism stimulates scientific investigations, and, possibly, even makes them possible.
