embrace the cheat

when designing a system welcome the cheats
they'll alow you to discover the implications of your mechanism more quickly

cheats of course can over whelm a system
and enforcement can cost too much

but i think of gosplan I
the zillion tales of cheating that evoked
if we attend to them carefully
can teach  us all we need know
 to build
gosplan II

not to mention the opportunity for show trails
