If you understand what that means and what the implications are, you're
on the right track.
NPOV is important, it's great, it's the way we write articles. Amen.
It is not a palliative for every malady. It has its limits, which have
been widely discussed in our various forums.
I'm going out on a limb somewhat here, but I believe that NPOV is
difficult to apply in the MT dispute because there is disagreement over
the amount and prominence of critical material that should be included
in the article. This is a judgment call, hence the dispute. Having and
applying an NPOV policy does not abrogate the need to make a judgment
call in this case.
