The interesting outcome of there being so many tiny inconsistencies in a game is that it takes a true expert of the game to effectively cheat. At which point, it gets even more sad when they do, since they clearly have the skill to actually compete.
It’s like when I found out how Lance Armstrong cheated in those bike races by giving himself blood transfusions while he was racing.
I was like “yeah, but like… still pretty impressive” lol
Those splice type of cheats require a highly skilled player who can play well for short amounts of time.
Cheating of this sort is almost always about someone who is already very good at the game. But it's simply not enough. They want to be the greatest, or do the impossible. They want to be legends instead of just being really good. And usually the only way to do that is to cheat.
