No, I've had acquaintances who believed cheating made them smarter than non-cheaters

In a sense, I'm in that category because I paid for zero textbooks. Instead I photocopied them at the library.

I imagine if I had to I would have probably paid for them. By the laws of the land I'm a cheater. And so be it.

Nah that's not cheating, that's piracy, I did the same thing as a broke college kid - copying is not theft. Information wants to be free.
Savvier or more cunning—yeah, probably so.
