In that case I'm willing to understand the 'cheating' phrasing. But that is not new indeed. It's more cherry picking, and as you say, the system allows it. As I have mentioned before BOINC was never set up to be used the way gridcoin uses it. There are many issues and this is indeed one of them. Credit is assigned as the projects like and wasn't set up with Gridcoin in mind. In my defense: if that was what they were intending to explain they should have made it more obvious.
