Yes, because it gives the reader the opportunity to evaluate the information himself instead. I get that some people like to have a ready opinion, but it doesn't change the fact I prefer the style and think it more informative. Pompous and paternalistic is trying to explain the world to readers.

When I am choosing which information I show and how exactly it is framed, whether hints of opposing information existing are shown or not, it is still pretty easy to lead you to my opinion.

It is just less apparent that is is going on. When you know what my opinion is, then you was warned.
