Too late for the edit window, so I'll reply to add:

If a person gets in the habit of cheating because they don't think the thing they are cheating on is important, then they have to develop the skill of always knowing what is important, and what isn't, or they risk cheating on something with serious consequences. Patrascu died at the age of 29 from brain cancer. I wonder if he ignored any symptoms because he didn't think they were consequential.

You make it sound as if Patrascu was a serial cheater, which wasn't the case.

If you look long enough only you will come across stories of how his disease went: there weren't any symptoms.

Such diseases are dangerous things and shouldn't be joked about lightly, for many cancers the medical literature is clear you won't know until it's too late.
