Strange, is it not, to have SPOV high on one's list of worries.  Of course 
you could take it as read that NPOV copes swimmingly with troubles coming 
from politics, religion, economic self-interest, ethnicity, cultural 
blinkers and bad history.  But somehow grinds to a halt when asked to cope 
with the verifiable/falsifiable nexus and those insidious claims on 
scientific method.  When all we have to do is report proportionately on 
consensus and minority views, not root out the bad science (which of course 
is always with us).
