Heh.
That's interesting that the application of a "policy" ("pillar" even)
that itself is simply a caveat, requires another caveat with regard to
its application.
In any case, the problem lies with both "policies:"
IAR, as everyone here knows is a practical oxymoron, and a relic from
a bygone era of adequate-ness, where a simplistic policy could
substitute for a simple one.
BLP is just a range-specific application of OFFICE and RS -- "reliable
sources" itself being a necessary, but nevertheless idiopathic
stepchild of the [[objectivity (journalism)]] principle (our NPOV),
with a quasi-subjective misnomer in its name.
