When discussing the law: Standard and Universal Ruleset 4.8 Cheating

Standard and Universal Ruleset 4.8 Cheating

Competitors shall not cheat by using any kind of device, program, or any other method or activity that may gain or give an unfair advantage.

This clause specifies that cheating using any device, program, or method that yields an unfair advantage is prohibited.

- Emphasize the potential to "yield an advantage"

If the rules state that any action compromising the fairness of the game is prohibited, then the following actions must be penalized:

- Using third-party software during competition.

- Using dual monitors during competition.

You cannot selectively invoke rules designed to protect the game's integrity like this. Singling out specific instances for enforcement—applying the rules in some cases but not others—is dishonest and amounts to a double standard.
