And that's a very good point about NPOV - I've actually long thought that NPOV is a very clever way of dealing with the problem of deviant epistemologies - from Lyotard to radical Christian fundamentalists.
I am not sure the point applies as well to NOR, where we do actually run into the problem that we need to have some way of differentiating between an acceptable interpretation of a source and an unacceptable one.
