Cheating is a work. Like being a scammer.
I once tried to cheat at the high school, on an Hiistory of Italian Narrative test that was just a bunch of tales to read and study and got busted. I remember that I cried.
I was far above the average but I simply barely stand literature and history. I somehow liked philosophy as after knowing some bases it was a great work of improvisation.
Cheating is against ourselves but I would add an exception. Sometimes, the test/exams/checkpoints to pass are too hard if compared to the final result. And therefore, I am not totally against cheating. But it has to be done in a long-sight term as too much cheating would avoid the creation of decent basis to build a future on (and even worse, becoming blackmailable)
