I don't think anyone is contesting these issues. The only issue under contention is whether this should be stated explicitly for fear of causing even more hagiography.
I think it already *is* stated. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind the bit about not including birthdate information for fear of "identity theft" being removed - sheer paranoia.
The *what*? That's bloody stupid.
It may or may not surprise you to know that that is a surprisingly common reason for asking "please do not list my birthdate"...
Of course the fact that it's not useful information combined with the fact that it's almost never an easily verified fact is an equally good reason.
IOW, ask Jimbo to see his birth certificate some time...
