Cheating in FPS by using a second computer to move mouse

I'm not sure what point you're making. My point is that steroids don't turn average people into elite athletes, which is much closer to what auto aim or wall hacking tools in FPS games do. Average people appear elite because their tools make them perform that way. This is not what steroids do.

You're agreeing with me, I think, but in the form of an argument.

Sort of. A regular person on steroids could never compete with a skilled athlete who isn't, certainly. But in virtually all sports a skilled natural athlete also can't realistically compete with a skilled "enhanced" athlete.

It's not really cheating anymore, since everyone does it now, but the point I'm trying to make is that it's not nothing either.

A better comparison to cheating wouuld be, if one of the runners would have taken a car instead of running.
