I would say that the point of having WP:COI in relation to PR folk is this: assuming a measure of professionalism, they are going to be discouraged by it being against the site rules. Assuming a measure of intelligence, they will see that we can CheckUser them and drop them in it, career-wise. This gives them reasons to think they can find easier ways to earn a living than by edit warring against high school kids with admin powers.
