That is a very smart answer. You are quite correct, there will always be a chance for this to happen.
On the other hand... Non playing host at least removes the *casual* temptation to cheat. So it's only equivalent in the case where someone has decided to be deceptive before the game starts. A playing host on the other hand, is exposed to temptation throughout the game.
I don't think it's a huge issue.
Personally I favour games with non playing hosts simply for the relative impartiality should there be any problems during the game, but it's not high on my list of priorities - I have played several which had playing hosts too, because the games looked like they would be interesting (i.e. mlaub's Glacier series.)
