I find your point of view very narrow minded. I even admitted cheating in my bachelor's during my Master's thesis presentation.

It was in Switzerland, and culture is different; maybe we're less black and white.

If you cheated on an exam, it's a very bad negative signal for integrity there's no question about it.

This is not very grey.

If you were caught you would probably be kicked out of your Uni, this is a serious thing.

I understand there are extenuating circumstances, people are young, they do crazy things, we all have. But it's not something we run around talking about, certainly not in an interview.
