One way to state the NPOV policy is that it encourages people to use a Hegelian dialectic. I wish the NPOV policy could just say "Use the Hegelian dialectic". That whole thing about "neutrality" is delicate and confusing otherwise.

I haven't edited those articles for some hours; the uproar was exhausting, and my sources will take a while to gather. I know what I know, but tracking down all the sources that form my gestalt is a lot of work!
