I don't think anyone would argue otherwise. The issue is that if there's a culture that encourages (incentivizes, not advocates) cheating, then we should expect a culture where more people cheat. I think right now it is hard to argue that the current culture doesn't encourage cheating, and if we're being honest, doesn't have a good means of identifying it (publish or perish also decreases reviewing quality).
