1) Just because everyone is cheating doesn&#x27;t mean there isn&#x27;t a competition.  The competition is for clean, high-mileage, high-performing vehicles and it very much is a competition.<p>2) I&#x27;m not sure why you decided to rename it a Bosch&#x2F;Audi scandal as it is a Volkswagen&#x2F;Bosch&#x2F;Audi&#x2F;Porsche scandal. Volkswagen is simply the combination of most highly distributed manufacturer and highest name recognition in that set.<p>3) Everyone cheats is not an excuse for cheating.  It just means better testing and regulation enforcement is required.<p>4) I do agree that the paper has it backwards.  Dishonesty leads to Competition &quot;Winning&quot; rather than the other way around.
