I suppose having a good argument is like holding a weapon in a fight, so an edge rather than bonus is another possibility.
Perhaps I'm getting cynical in my old age, but in my experience, knowing the truth is only a little advantage in an argument, so perhaps only a small bonus.
More importantly, it might be best to consider the objectives of the contestants: are they trying to reveal the truth, appear impressive or sow doubt. Different abilities are more applicable for different objectives, so not being true might merely be an improvisational modifier.
