Another distinction between sports and crafts is that sports tend to have an integrity practice/negotiation component (cheating) that isn’t emphasized in crafts

the word is still used, but in a very different sense (achieving a result in a hacky/temporary/unskillful manner, as opposed to an ethical breach)

I definitely think cheating is possible in crafts - any particular examples that come to mind?

often has to do with craft genres being defined by the tools allowed - blacksmithing often implies coal or gas fire, but not oxy-acetylene (which can create VERY localized hot spots). Files and drilles, yes, but not CNC, etc. often conventions around starting materials

oh you didn’t wash and dye and comb the wool yourself? wait you *bought yarn*???

yep, but fine grained too - you're allowed to buy the yarn, but not ACRYLIC. This is a COTTON or WOOL club, missy!
