>Impartial implies flexibility.
So, we could never accuse you of impartiality, eh, Dr. Bill?
Faldage has already raised my concerns with the above statement, but, just to add to it, here are some synonyms offered by M-W's thesaurus:
candid, dispassionate, equal, equitable, impartial, impersonal, indifferent, just, nondiscriminatory, nonpartisan, objective, square, unbiased, uncolored, undistinctive, unprejudiced, unprepossessed
Nothing in there that necessitates flexibility. In fact, I would say, as I read Faldage to be saying, that flexibility is not necessarily conducive to impartiality. A bribable judge is obviously very flexible, but is certainly not impartial.
