That's mroe than a bit of an exaggeration of his point. There are times when someone is a particularly strong fanboy (or hater) of a product to the degree that he can no longer judge it responsibly. Whether or not he recuses himself from that particular deliberation, he should at least be upfront about it with the other judges and allow them to take the fore on deliberations.
