You can have a thoughtful idea at the same time you have someone cynically appropriating it for their own selfish causes.

Doesn't mean the latter is right. You evaluate an idea on its merits, not by who is saying what.

Considering incentives is completely important. Considering the idea on merits alone just gives bad actors a fig leaf of plausible deniability. Its a lack of considering incentives that creates media illiteracy imo.
