If someone hypothetically had a shill and "nominated themself" for the PL via the shill, it would be easy to subsequently have the shill "remove themself" from the PL by claiming that the situation had been resolved to the shill's satisfaction...and in the process, making it more convincing that the shill is not really a shill after all.
