It's not rubbish although I have since revised the analogy.

Impartiality can blind you to information you may not like. You want people who'll be honest with you and give you sound advice not obscured by their personal motivations. If we have a weakness we need to know about it, if we're overplaying a hand we may not win we need to know about. Demanding we want biased experts is madness.

Completely agree ,i for one want someone totally biased towards Brexit ,i do not want some wishy washy expert sitting on the fence 'cos he's impartial ,i want experts advising who will commit to a decision and stick to it because they believe it to be right .Impartiality will not do us any good in this situation.
won't help us. Thankfully I doubt the government will recruit such people and go after professionals instead.
