Could you possibly explain what you mean by "impartial" in that context. (An answer isn't essential, as the question is largely rhetorical.) To me, the word implies that one doesn't take sides. However, given the rational, coherent, simple, and utterly commonsensical nature of SI, how can one be impartial in a world where the alternative is awkward, incoherent, difficult, ancient and, at times, utterly nonsensical? Or is there something I'm missing? Now, if you were to recommend a non-coercive, but nonetheless persuasive approach, I could go for that.
