I submit that we actually mean something much more

actual English rather than internal jargon - "Be accurate in
describing the points of view, but verifiably so."
I think we've actually done quite well, here. No doubt there are still the
"philosophical" issues. (Not to speak of the "sandiferous" ones.) But
if we render that into the notion of a "house style", it all starts to make
somewhat more sense. I like the comparison with the "journal of record", dealing
with politics with an arm's-length feel. There really is a Wikipedia kind of writing;
and like everything else in policy, if you attempt to stay on the fairway and out of the
bunkers, life is so much easier.
