> It's the same reason I return a shopping cart after loading groceries in the parking lot. I don't benefit, but others in the system do. It's not the same. The parking lot isn't a competitive game. You can't enforce fairness unilaterally in a competitive game. The people who benefit from your actions in the interview case are the people who are willing to take advantage. In a game where everyone is "cheating", you can cheat to be on even ground or you can not cheat and be at a disadvantage. You don't have a way to make the game fairer. (btw I wouldn't lie in the interview either, I just don't agree with how you're applying the concept of fairness)
