Really though, I think the {{who}} in midsentence does help to illustrate exactly where the problem/weasel words are. Most of the time, "some argue", "others think" and the like with no sources or attribution are a thin cover for a personal editorial.
{{who}} is only useful when there is an inline citation already, and the cited resource isn't accessible.
If there isnt an inline citation, then adding {{fact}} is more useful.
If there is an inline citation with a URL provided, the person adding {{who}} could answer their own question.
I doubt that {{who}} should ever appear midsentence. If it cant go at the end of the sentence, it is probably a run-on sentence.

I look forward to seeing {{ww}} appearing midsentence.
