Nobody claims that it eliminates the problem. But paying professionals does alleviate the argument that they must take unethical work to make ends meet. It also makes it easier to make demands on them to do uncompensated work (training) or maintain their own liability insurance. I spend a few dozen hours every year, unpaid, to keep my license and have walked away from couple clients. That's the minimum, but should anything go wrong (malpractice allegations) I am also expected to have done things like attend conferences and write articles. I wouldn't be able to do any of that on minimum or simply low wages.
