I see people splitting hairs on these kinds of pages. On this page, the subjective argument is that one is a lack of bias, but you need a lack of bias if you don't become engaged. I become engaged when I have a position. I don't just robotically show interest for the sake of it. So, I can't relate to the distinctions being made. I see one half of one, half of the other. Could go either way depending on how you see it. I don’t see the difference. I see people splitting hairs on these kinds of pages.
