[edit] "Deep Voice?"

Huh? They make fun of his stoic analytical demeanor. I've never heard anyone suggest he has a deep voice. It's frankly quite nasal. Am I being overly pedantic? :-) --Skidoo (talk) 06:22, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

It's a free world, change it. I would describe his voice as monotone personally. 72.139.164.148 (talk) 19:28, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Jamie isn't a visual effects expert, is he? Special effects yes, but not visual effects which are done in post production. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.162.196.192 (talk) 20:05, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Good photo?

Is the photo currently used in the article a good representation of who and what Hyneman is? It shows him sitting down, in front of a microphone, but he is not a talker (neither is Adam Savage, or the junior mythbusters), he is a doing. It would be much more fair towards him to bring a photo where he is shown in the workshop (and standing up), while he is doing something.--Peter Knutsen (talk) 13:16, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Biased writer?

The article states "Hyneman identifies strongly with skeptics and atheists.[1]". The sources I checked provided no evidence to prove this statement. I also see no reason to mention this, whether true or not. Adam Savage's page had similar editing on it. As an avid and dedicated viewer of the show, I can say with some certainty that neither Adam nor Jamie are strong atheists. If anything, they seem impartial. It looks like the writer added irrelevant information to the article to promote their own views. As no evidence seems to back that statement up, and because of it's needlessness, I suggest it be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.242.140.20 (talk) 05:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
