You don't understand it because you don't think like a crook. I'm sure 
people who cheat get a great amount of satisfaction from devaluing other 
people's efforts. The guy who cheats in a contest and takes first place 
must be thrilled to deprive the real winner. It's sick, but that's how some 
people are.
