    Point taken, I suppose I just worry over the semantics because once the word is being spread high and low, the rhetoric will be examined.

    I don't think this article was fair and balanced at all...the danger is that it appears to be fair to many. I base this premise on a simple count of the positive and negatives messages from the article and the negatives appear more powerful. Some major negatives: -Sidestepping laws -No one...

Firstly, it contained a mis-quote which enemies could have used to evidence of lacking credibility and truthfulness from the author, and then by extension to the products at large.
