    As a matter of fact I do understand that....that is why I put the cheating directly on Kitajima....character is not only what YOU do when people are watching but also what YOU do when you hope they aren't. TJ: why are you so certain that he did it on purpose? For it to be cheating, wouldn't he have to attempt to cover up the infraction (some form of deception or trickery)? I am comfortable with "he should have been DQ'd," but completely uncomfortable with the moral judgement.
