If people try to influence someones tests when all they've done is provide blocks, it doesn't take a scientist to wonder what could happen if they're paying someone.

Would you pay someone to test your product, yet sit there and still hand over the cash if that very test would actually produce negative PR?
There is a diffrence from getting money for review, which in my opinion is wrong, and getting money for testing.
