You are supporting my point. Thanks.
Words like large, nominal, etc are relative words that have no meaning without context. Most people consider $1 million dollars to be a large amount of money but in the context of the U.S. federal budget, $1 million is literally nothing.
Back to the point, you stated that 100% of the time this is cheating. 100% is a clear, well defined context. 100% of the time would include me sitting with $3000 at a $2/$5 game in the big blind waiting for the pre-flop action when the waitress passes by with a tray full of water and me asking for one and giving her a dollar from my stack while my hand was still live.
This is something that happens hundreds of times a day in every casino and is allowed without question. However you consider 100% of those people to be cheaters.
Yes. Words do have meanings.
