If our extended family had a fishing tournament, cheating would be expected. Everyone would spend more time and effort thinking of ways to cheat and how to catch the cheaters than actually fishing. Of course, we wouldn’t be competing for more than pocket change and bragging rights. The ultimate bragging rights here would be to confess after-the-fact to cheating that no one caught.
If our family had a fishing tournament I would get thanked a lot, because no matter how beautiful the cast landing exactly where I wanted it to go, they would know that no fish were biting anywhere near my bait.
