I have not insinuated anything. If you read the posts of mine, I do imply what I have implied and nothing else in these posts. Just repeating again that if somebody wants to implement certain measure to make cheating more difficult or less attractive for the citizens, why would you oppose these measures? That is all what I wanted to say and there cannot be any misinterpretation of this imho. You, on the other hand, might find these measures useless. Now I'm going to ask another question which is the reason why you find it useless. That you would have answered by thinking that these measures are only partial solution of the problem. Well, I then repeat again that even partial solution is better than no solution at all trying to ingnore the problem. Strider above also have noted the similarly important aspect.
Of course, one can say that this is the first DemoGame of Civ4 and we have to acquire certain experience for this first game before clarifying possible solutions to the problem and actual severity of the problem. That is a valid argument. I and probably all other citizens have little or no idea on how this would turn out further in the game. Now, what if Donovan Zoi would not have been an honest person and would have hidden the fact and would have provided some "specific insight" into the game? How this would sound later on when everyone finds out? That is my main concern.
Now, we have an incident here. We can make a choice either to disregard this incident and consider that nothing happened or we can adapt to this experience and make sure that it is not repeated. Let me put it this way by using an ancient Roman saying authored by Ciceron (Marcus Tullius):
"Cujusvis hominis est errare; nullius, nisi insipientis in errore perseverare".
