We are now discussing those who use their gifts for the wrong reason. it does not matter whether a genius cheats the system to make millions or wither an athlete does the same thing (by lying or hiding an injury or bad habit before being signed by a professional club as just one example).

In both cases we are talking about bad behavior which is not acceptable. Few of the really excellent students use their gifts in that way.

Why is designing electronic trading platforms and programs, and analyzing arbitrage plays using a mathematical gift "for the wrong reason"?

But in your fevered world apparently most of the athletes do.
