I think your statement is accurate, but I don't think it requires any special honesty or insight. Fowler has written seven books on software development, spent five years as the editor of the design column for IEEE Software magazine, is the editor of an Addison-Wesley Signature Series of books, and is employed by a very famous software development company. His posts ought to be given more attention than random blog posts. That's not to say they're always correct. They're just more likely to be worth reading.
