Being a cheat significantly correlates with laziness, incompetence and stupidity so there are probably very few cheats smart and diligent enough to not get caught.
- tpoacher 6mo agoBased on my experience of the field, I very much challenge that assumption.
- coppsilgold 6mo agoIndeed, the niches of smart cheats or smart criminals have a lot of room. Because the trajectories to reach that stage without being caught by a legal (good legal work) or moral (good person) attractor are sparse and that makes them somewhat rare. Handwaving correlations between cheating/criminality and most personality/intelligence aspects is an error, not least because there is a selection bias problem (eg. who gets caught).
- isolli 6mo agoThe sample of cheaters that we know about is biased towards cheaters who get caught.
- BobaFloutist 6mo agoTo those, yes, but also to the weirdly high number of cheaters that can't help bragging to everyone that'll listen about their cheating.
- thaumasiotes 6mo ago> Being a cheat significantly correlates with laziness, incompetence and stupidity There is no evidence for this.
