You're correct that I stated that badly. I didn't mean cultural rot as in "everyone does it", I meant cultural rot as in there isn't much perceived chance of being caught, i.e. not much of a culture of double-checking each others' work, so they do it again and again (until they get sloppy). But you're correct that it doesn't mean most people are doing it.
