There also seems to be, in the original argument of this thread, a desire to yield to the larger sociocultural ethic that money is the root of all. Can't we rise above that here?
Actually it's the love of money that is the root of all evil. There's rather a nice little article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_of_all_evil
And it's the motivation, not the money, that is the problem here, as well. Editor A gets paid to write, declaring that bias. Editors B, C and on then have to check every edit for subtle bias. Only editor A is paid. If editor A makes biased edits on his own account, at least all are paid the same rate for the job.
