Dear Chess World

Magnus has produced what he can given the situation and has staked something of extreme personal value—his legendary near-2900 ELO—on it with his move-1 resignation.

If he'd heard the guy's damn shoe buzzing he would have insisted on a search.

FIDE doesn't rate the Champions Chess Tour, but even if it did the format isn't classical, so his quest for 2900 is doubly unaffected.

Blah. Magnus has given nothing. Could have still insisted he was searched. He didn't. Magnus has anxiety.

Playing cheats can do that

I don't disagree, but it doesn't mean he cheated or continues to cheat.

No one doubts he cheated. The only doubt is when. Sure, people deserve second chances, but not necessarily a chance to become champion.

Who are you, or anyone else here to decide that? Sounds extremely arrogant, even for Magnus to try and decide such a thing.

Entirely possible, but a hell of a thing to throw away your reputation over.
