---------------------------------------------
Our article on Undue Weight is not trying to address "importance"  exactly. 
 It is trying to address the presentation of a balanced view, a  balanced 
content, a balanced perspective.
 
Balance is not about what is more important.
We would like to present biographies that mimic in some way, what the world 
 expects when it hears the word "biography".  If I write a biography of  
Henry Fonda, that has three pages of "biographical details and stories" and 16 
 pages of a list of all the clothes hanging in his closet the day he died, 
I  would be stoned by a mob.
 
Anyone who doesn't see that, has probably never worked as a  biographer.
