This is the way it used to be, and a convincing argument was put
forth.  The money spent on persuading a unit is money spent on ale in
taverns, treating it to dinner, and maybe giving it some pocket
change.  Those guys aren't going to report back to whomever their
current master is with the dough; they're going to blow it on wine,
women, and song.
