penguin,
answer this one honestly:
if you were in court for something and the "judge" just wrote a book referencing the other guy in court, would you still want that judge to preside or ask for another.
this is a very simple yet concise analogy.
No. But there is no judge here. A better analogy is if me and my wife were asked the same question by my best friend. It's still the same question. Who my friend believes and what he believes is a better answer doesn't change anything.
