Perhaps, but I don't think that's actually true. Cheating in school is just an easier or more assured way to get a better result. When you find a way to do things better in non-academic settings, you get rewarded. Things that are truly unfair are regulated and tested for with steep penalties. I think most people would admit the academy is a bizarre place with rules that don't really apply in other contexts. In school it matters that _you_ came up with a solution. In most other contexts, it just matters that you have a solution.
