So it is "disappointing" now but by making it OSS we can shift the work needed to find its flaws onto "the wider developer community".

Presumably, if no-one finds any biasses in it (because, ooh, it is too badly documented to be reliably run and tested?) that will be taken as PROOF that it is actually the bestest algorithm really, so it isn't Twitter's fault, stop complaining.
