If any criticism of "Brent's site" I don't think you can argue Brent is
champion of any specific bias - the whole point is to qualify "camps" so
transparency and completeness can be featured as support for the prevailing
camp.

That one might assert "i don't care enough to bother with establishing a
camp" while at the same time writing pages of opinion on list/forums might
speak more to the 'chore' associated with curation on Canonizer... it might
also speak to the unwillingness of the author to be "on the record"
