IMO that's a fitting definition for what Brahmanathaswami brings to any discussion. And I've had more than a few with him going back more than 20 years, first on AOL's SuperCard forum and then meeting him in person at MacWorld in the mid-90s.
Should you find yourself on Kauai I would encourage you to drop him a note - sometimes his schedule permits him to provide a tour of the monastery where he lives and works. The monastery also offers public tours on Fridays, but they don't spend nearly as much time on LiveCode's role on their work. :)
The new IT building was in development when I was there, and I'm told it's since been completed. It is perhaps the most enviable office I've ever seen, with a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking a waterfall that empties into a lava tube surrounded by a lushness almost unimaginable.
He was quite generous with his time when my wife and I visited a few years ago, and even treated us to lunch. He showed us his work area with his convertible standing desk, some of the various applications he uses and how he integrates them, and over lunch with one of his friends we even talked about 4D.
As you can see from this write-up about our visit, he's far from "neutral": he's a die-hard LiveCode fanboy through and through. :)
