Well said, the message is in the bias, not the other way around.

Perhaps the most important thing about the messenger IS the bias? Perhaps it's the viewpoint and knowledge, the sum of the experiences and wisdom that forms the bias, that contains the most valuable part of the message.

(btw I tend to struggle with authority, even when it's my own "authority"...)

I don't believe the messenger can ever be detached from the message. Perhaps the lesson learned, or the end result can, but not the delivery. This can be a good thing, especially when you are asked your opinion about someone else's photography.

It's more about the messenger than the message in that case.
