Perception is reality and right now the perception is a clear bias toward the left on Twitter. Anything that can be done to combat this fairly is a good thing.
Everyone seems to think that accept for the left on Twitter who believe there's a clear bias towards the right.
My whole point is that the task is sufficiently impossible (either technically or in terms of satisfying people) that aiming to do it feels like pure bluster. It will never be fair - you can interpret that sentence however you see fit.

But couldn't it at least be better?
Even if that's precisely true, is it not good to be creating a more trusted space for everyone? The grievances, regardless of merit, are mostly coming from the right. If you want to create a service that caters to all you're going to have to address their concerns. If he can do that in a way that is fair to all, it sounds like a win to me.
