Right, so where is the evidence for all of these assertions that the honor system has this huge cultural impact that everybody takes seriously? If you're the kind of person who takes it seriously, then it's fairly unlikely that people are going to have conversations about their cheating habits with you. That you sign a paper at the beginning of your college career and people talk about it a ton doesn't necessarily mean that it's widely respected, or that the presence of an honor code is making anybody honest except those who would be anyway.
