My point here is that I have always found it so completely unfathomable that someone would spend so much time on an activity -- any activity -- and then cheat.  Cheating is about looking better, not being better.  At the same time, it robs others, equally devoted, of a fair basis of comparison.<p>That it ever happens is amazing to me; yet, it happens all the time at the highest levels of competition.  And it happens in academics too!  Same shit, different day.  And in politics.  Ok, I&#x27;m stopping now before I give up on us as a species.  Again.
