You can achieve #1 and #2 (pretty much the same thing) and still want to cheat to minimize bad luck, especially if others are cheating, with the curves and all.

You can achieve #1 and #2 (pretty much the same thing) and still want to cheat to minimize bad luck, especially if others are cheating, with the curves and all. #3 and #4 are also pretty much the same thing. Yes some people have academic integrity, others make up for it with integrity in other parts of life (so they still get good feelies about themselves), some people only value winning, some people are lazy, some people just can't cut it and the costs are too high to fail with integrity. All to say it exists, but I don't think this would be a big group if cheating were allowed, even if grades weren't on a curve and other complications were ironed out.
