But wasn't Kirk always getting into trouble? Don't you think he'd be sent to the Principal's office now and then?

Wouldn't the principal just give him a commendation for original thinking?

Isn't he the only guy to ever beat the no-win scenario?

Was his cheating to win the no-win scenario justified?

Did he cheat, or did he out-think his teachers?

Couldn't any dishonest person use that mindset to justify their dishonesty?

So you're saying that he didn't cheat? Or that there is such a thing as honest cheating?

Was his intent to beat the test dishonestly or to prove his point that there's no such thing as a no-win scenario?

Isn't the intent of cheating to defraud or deceive someone?
