> It's nothing there that can learn a fundamental idea like "cheating is wrong".
We have not in fact attempted to teach this.
When a child repeatedly learns that cheating is rewarded and at best inconsistently punished, the child will also cheat and feel no guilt.
I don't think that's true. About children, I mean. Either because we have some innate moral compass, or more likely because we pick up on cultural ideas beyond our immediate parenting - kids will often have strong moral compasses, despite shitty upbringings, and also have weak ones despite theoretically good ones.
