But maybe the boxen are good, in that they warn us to look out for bias from that editor.
That would be excellent then: we would be able to waive 'assume good faith' for whole scads of editors we come across. What a relief! Maybe I have misjudged the little critters.
Maybe you haven't seen my userpage. I freely admit to strong opinions, when I edit articles on subjects on which I have strong opinions, I do so in good faith and I am, to the best of my ability, neutral - but I still have strong opinions, and that means it's best if someone else has a look.
Strong opinions and good faith are absolutely not exclusive, and being aware of the subconscious bias of another user is not the same as failing to assume good faith.
