People cheat for all kinds of reasons. I'd say in many cases it bears little or no relevance to their proficiency as an IC. For example, I've seen people cheat in a Computer History class (compsci elective) presumably because they just want an easy A to push up the GPA. It doesn't necessarily mean they can't code.

Even if they can code, I don't think I would want to hire anyone who would cheat on something so basic just to push up their GPA. What is to prevent them from doing the same thing at work to get a better bonus/raise?

In the end it comes down to trust. We can't trust someone who is willing to cheat to get ahead even if they are a super coder.
