Pure sophistry.Cheating is breaking the rules.
If the rules are hidden, how is it morally bankrupt to break them? Calling people "deficient f character" for not knowing what you already know seems a bit pertinacious, especially if you can't state clearly why they would know it.
And if the rule isn't hidden, you shouldn't have a hard time finding it in the rulebook.
Not reading modules ahead of time is not an official rule in RPG rulebooks because it never occurred to anyone writing any RPG that they would have to lay out something so basic.
Cheating is acting dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage.
Do you really need to be told how a player reading a module ahead of time is a dishonest and unfair act at the game table?
