how does this make it impossible to write a neutral article
about the

Because we then don't have any sources for any of the alternative opinions. Thus the article is presenting only one POV.
Now you're *really* clutching at straws. Either that, or you're taking the piss.
NPOV doesn't mean "you must find someone, anyone, who holds a differing view before you can print any statement". That's called "balance", and it's why Fox News is so wonderful.
("Most experts claim the sky is blue. However, Joe Bloggs, who lives in his parents' basement, plays Dungeons & Dragons all day, and has never seen the sun, says the sky is actually green with a nice pink polkadot effect.")
