Moving this here because it is, after all, off-topic, and I don’t want to derail the other any more than we have…
You may misunderstand me slightly, if this is what you took from that. Avarice is not a factor. It doesn’t matter what they seek advantage in. Is it for money? Love? Basic survival needs? To advance an ideology? Whatever the goal, whatever the motivation, if you offer human beings more than a single way to get it, then in general, they will choose the way that best provides for a confluence of laziness, avoidance of personal responsibility, and the opportunity to feel powerful or clever at others’ expense.
It’s as true of cheating in tournaments as it is of politics or religion.
