Actually, if she does that, she doesn't follow NPOV policy. NPOV dictates  
that we present different views only where they verifiably exist. If she  
claims that "highly successful and extraordinarily prolific" is not NPOV  
(the "extraordinarily" may need some backing), she will have to cite  
sources that dispute this or ask for references that prove it.

Erik
