Devil's advocate:

What if instead of being 'bought' the debate requires funding? What if the only people who know one side of the debate also are involved in the money of said side. What if that side's (presumed to be wrong) opponents are well funded. Should the right side hamstring themselves? What if this causes the right side to barely lose? Does this change the ethics of refusing the help?
