A softer, separate expression of fairness in Cybozu
Idiots are fine, but not lies.Badly, but not a lie. - fool is fine, but lie is not.
I recently saw the expression, “It’s okay to be an asshole, but not to lie, it’s everyone’s responsibility to correct the asshole,” and I thought this was taking it a step further. If it’s his responsibility to correct the asshole, he’ll have an incentive to hide it and try to solve it alone. But if it’s everyone’s responsibility, it’s easier to share information promptly and solve the problem with everyone’s help.

@keroyon107: It is much better to fail once than to plagiarism. Because if you just fail the exam, you will be recognized as an idiot or lack of effort, but if you are caught plagiarizing, you will be labeled a “dishonest”. This is a much more serious sin than being an idiot. (Although stupidity is not a sin.) The worst case scenario is expulsion, and even if you are lucky enough to be allowed to return to school (continued)
