Those same aggressive and devious traits can, and probably would be, turned against you at some point. Beware of fanatical people; you can’t trust them, especially in leadership positions. Integrity matters.
Cheaters may win but they also undermine the concept of fair play and distort the very mores and practices to which you refer.
Obviously I disagree with your characterizations of what happened in Colorado.
