Also, the EB is trusted as far as people trust a British commercial
entity. The British, as a nation and to their credit, are probably
the most even keeled in terms of their pov. However, they cannot
touch the diversity of thoughts and points of view that is available
on a truly international encyclopedia. They are still western in
outlook, and maintain quite a fondness for the scientific process, at
the expense in my opinion for more populist notions.

Isn't the Encyclopedia Brittanica an American commercial entity?
