I believe the wording is deliberate. Perhaps it's crafted to differentiate between "justifying beliefs" associated with the D-factor and accepting that there are people who get ahead by doing bad things without taking that as a justification to join them. I do believe that "people who cut corners make life harder for everyone else", but I answered "strongly disagree" to 1. Perhaps your answers to 1 and 8 just revealed a dark trait in you?

That is definitely the case at least for me -- I scored low in general, but relatively high on moral disengagement, which I think that question is about. It just blows my mind because I, like the person you're responding to, couldn't even imagine there being a different way to view it until I started thinking about why they put that question in there! ("It must be because with a different personality, the answer is not an obvious agreement." I just hadn't imagined someone might view the world like that. Love this type of thing.)
