We assume they're right

We never take a second to check their answer

We're copying them

When people tell you your ugly, do you ever check their work?

Do you ever disagree with them?

If you were doing a group project with them, you would question their authority.

You would look up the answer and prove your worth,
prove that they're wrong and you're right

But when you cheat on a test, you can't ask them if they're sure thats the right answer
