Accomodation pricing has nothing to do with honesty. Like you said, who'd be crazy enough to pass on a good deal. I just said it changes the whole notion of independance.
I know of at least one reviewer who bought and paid full retail price for a piece of equipment he reviewed - very - favourably. He's also a contributor to this forum, and didn't jump in to defend the illusion of independance because he proved well above that.
