What is your definition of cheating?
Exactly in what light are we talking about? Cheating on your taxes, cheating on your girlfriend, cheating on your midterms? Specificity would really be appreciated here!
Generally, I think there's a standard set of norms and values a body of people or any grouping of people greater than one would follow for a given task. Everyone agrees that this set grouping of of rules, laws, codes or agreements are what is supposed to be followed to the T. When someone deviates from some of these 'abidings', in certain given set of these an individual or minority of these people are deemed as cheaters. Take marriage, a majority of people who believe in this arrangement believe in celibacy and honesty, those who break these in favor of sex with multiple partners would be considered the cheater. A majority of students attending school would agree that the person that found a way to take or access answers they failed to learn would be cheating. In both of these cases, it's cheating.
People sometimes cheat to make things easier, to make stagnating things or systems succeed.
When a group of people are preforming a given highly repetitive and exhausting task at work, the person who finds a way to do it a better way "cheats" that set system, but it's a good cheat (unless someone gets canned because it can now be done by less people). Innovations based on deviations from a set of governing rules are cheats. Some surgeries can be cheats deviating from nature. What are we after here? Cheating can be a bad thing and it can be a wonderful thing. And perhaps you all think I'm off my fucking rocker ;).
