Fine. It's impossible to say that anything is impossible in the
game.  Some people will cheat, and others will abuse their ability
to alter the rules. And therefore, since some few people will never
play by the rules, there can never really be any rules because then
only the honest people would follow them and they would be at a
severe disadvantage in competition with the dishonest people so
eventually all of them would become disillusioned and lead a life of
bitterness and despair until eventually they all kill themselves by
sticking their heads into light sockets and the birds pick them
clean and people think they're wind chimes which would leave only
the dishonest people in the world and there would be total anarchy
leading to an irrevocable breakdown of society and we would all go
to hell or jail or Canada or something and that would suck.

In other words, your ability to break the rules does not make the
rules meaningless to OTHERS. Only to you, if you choose to see them
that way.
