The bolded part is fair enough, although a little presumptuous. It implies a perfect rationality, and a complete willingness to accept any new information independently of preconceived notions. I don't know anyone (myself included) who is perfectly without bias.
I was really only pointing out that no conclusion can be drawn from someone not being a member of an organization, while at least some conclusions on opinion/support/bias can be drawn from membership.
