  Wikipedia:Neutral point of view - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To write from a neutral point of view, one presents controversial views without asserting them; to do that, it generally suffices to present competing views in a way that is more or less acceptable to their adherents, and also to attribute the views to their adherents.
Presenting all points of view says, more or less, that p -ists believe that p, and q -ists believe that q, and that's where the debate stands at present.
In presenting an opinion, moreover, it is important to bear in mind that there are disagreements about how opinions are best stated; sometimes, it will be necessary to qualify the description of an opinion or to present several formulations, simply to arrive at a solution that fairly represents all the leading views of the situation.

The form is present perfect, but it is not 'grounded in the point Now', in fact all we know is that the deed will not be done, if at all, until some point in the future.
The present perfect cannot be comprehensively distinguished from the past simple in terms of looking back, current relevance or continuity with the present.
But taken on its own the theory of indefinite past treats the present perfect/past simple distinction as merely morphological rather than semantic, as if I've eaten breakfast is just the form taken by I ate breakfast at 8.00 when the time reference is absent.

 ENGLISH PAGE - Past Perfect
Unlike the Present Perfect, it is possible to use specific time words or phrases with the Past Perfect.
If the Past Perfect action did occur at a specific time, the Simple Past can be used instead of the Past Perfect when before or after is used in the sentence.
If the Past Perfect action did not happen at a specific time, Past Perfect MUST be used at all times.

 Poultry Production, Past and Present: Increasing the Speed of White
The fact that chicken production and consumption has increased nine-fold in the past 40 years while the average cost per pound to produce chickens—factoring in inflation—has declined by eight-fold, demonstrates just how far the modern chicken farm has come from humble, low-tech roots.
Over the past 50 years, chicken producers and farmers have done everything they can to reduce the costs and time it takes to grow a commercial chicken on the farm and process it into ready-to-serve pieces.
While many of the advances made in the chicken industry over the past 100 years were mainly a product of trial and error, information systems have stepped into the breach to deliver the two most important elements needed for any mass production industry: speed to market and the reduction of manufacturing costs through efficiency.
