I don’t think ‘assuming one player is honest’ and ‘not trusting answers by default’ are in contradiction. if the judge assumes one player is honest, then if they see two different answers they don’t know which one to trust, but if they only see one answer (the debaters agree on an answer/the answer is not challenged by the opposing debater) then they can trust that answer.
