If we were to tolerate paid editing to any extent, we'd run the risk of having WP:OWN situations developing.
Volunteer editor: Stop inserting that statement about Michael Jackson being a loveable, friendly, fluffy ball of joy. Paid editor: I'm paid to do this. This is my job. STFU. Volunteer editor: Oh, okay. I'll just leave you to it, then.
But we probably already have paid editors, aside from the Microsoft guy. The issue is whether they conform to our standards, and not those of some other entity. Purely biased editing is easy to spot. Edits which aren't purely biased are... well... neutral.
