Your points are good ones, and I think they are part of an interesting larger issue.
How are we to know the motives of anybody that posts here? Drug reps are bought and paid for, so at least we know where they're coming from and can take that into account in assessing their statements. How do we assess the bona fides and reliability of someone touting an herbal remedy, or fish oil? Or of someone whose subject line reads, "EQUANITRANQ RUINED MY LIFE!!!!!" Or someone who is supposed to be a doctor? Remember Dr. Kramer? PB beat on him like a pinata.
Would we be more credulous of a drug rep that didn't believe in his product, that ratted out his employer and gave us the inside dirt? Probably.
We're all looking for a Big Daddy, at least I am, and some people try to be Big Daddy on the internet. But the internet eats Big Daddies alive.
