You can't see the "magic check" on the RI checklist, because (obviously) it's not visible to team members and mentors, only to robot inspectors.
Getting an edge through cheating can be tempting, and it's easy to only think about the upside -- the glory of winning. Those feeling tempted should also imagine the incredible shame that would be brought upon their friends and teammates should their actions be discovered. Think about an article on Frank's Blog describing the situation in detail, and the 200 post thread that would ensue on CD. Think about the likelihood that your name would be associated with the cheating. Picture what it would be like to tell your parents about it. Imagine explaining to employers your involvement, or failing a background check for your new job due to "trustworthiness" issues.
