Not disagreement in general with your post, but being wealthy is rarely independent of your investments or the industry you made your wealth with. And that, indeed make your judgement biased. Which is not an issue since the arguments count, not who or why one give them.

Agreed completely. The only way for someone to be "a neutral observer" is to be wealthy, incapable of bias or persuasion, and not tied to the industry in question. In other words, not a human being.
