If you are a car salesman and have a button you can legally press which makes your customer buy a car, you'd press it. Instrumental rationality, no?

If you are a researcher who has a button he can legally press to make that reviewer look upon his submission more favorably, you'd probably press it.

No and no. And I think less of those who answer in the affirmative.
