You may be correct, but there is still the issue of avoidng the rewarding of
cheating.  Also, after a loss to a cheater it may take several games against
noncheaters to restore Symbolic's rating.  That's a waste of time and
electricity as well as presenting an artificially low rating to noncheaters.
