Written English is an imperfect medium. You saw an accusation of cheating and an attitude of sour grapes. I saw someone writing what many other people are curious about. When it looks like the system has been hacked, has it really been hacked? or are there other explanations? It is a fascinating topic.
The answer was that "Yes" there are many explanations other than malicious mischief.
Your last message describes many assumed motivations and attitudes that might be truly present in some minds, or might not. They certainly aren't declared in what I remember reading. If you found them between the lines, you might want to stop reading that part of this thread.
Unless you know something about the situation that the rest of us don't, please don't be so quick to assign negative motivations to an author when other explanations for their curiosity exist.
Gee, that last sentence contains a meme that sounds familiar.
