Really though, I think the {{who}} in midsentence does help to illustrate exactly where the problem/weasel words are. Most of the time, "some argue", "others think" and the like with no sources or attribution are a thin cover for a personal editorial.

Just edit the freaking sentences, already. I do adore the irony that Allen's sentence in support of the {{who}} tag used the "some have determined" construct.
