You can argue that we should change rules to disincentivize some of the behaviors we're seeing and to make them "cheating". And I would't argue against you if we could somehow make those improvements. But if you're framing "cheating" as against yours or my personal moral framework instead of law, that is not something you can expect everyone to agree with you on.
This is actually the supposition of my question.
But you're not cracking the surface and it's honestly really boring exchanging ideas with you. I don't think I'll carry on.
