#1: The question is not irrelevant. The nonsense of bugs is what strikes us first.
#2: Appearently, I don't need facts to support my opinion. All what's necessary is that it can possibly be a bug, to say that it perhaps could be a bug.
#3: Flash is a not so clear bug. What makes it so 'utterly' clear for you? And just to repeat myself: the examples were random and didn't claim to make much sense. They are there only to support my theory that in the eyes of some person that isn't focused only on long established bugs and repeats such buglists mindlessly, other game features could seem to be bugs as well.
#4: I don't know how to dupe or get into god mode. Clear up what you mean, you seem to know the ropes. If these methods can be applied without having to alter code, I stick to my statement.
#5: You say it yourself: These codes have been deliberately built in to enable cheating or perhaps prevent hacking the game as these functions are already in. Since they are built in as 'cheat' functions, of course using them is to be considered cheating. I should have cleared this up by stating "using what the game code allows and doesn't declare as cheating is no cheating".
Think about it. According to you, setting a game difficulty from 'normal' to 'easy' is probably cheating, too.
What's the point of your arguments anyway? I said that IMO, there isn't just 'cheating', often used as a general term and without having thought about it for more than 2 seconds, but also exploiting possibly bugged game mechanics and a lot of other things that are cheesy. Examples would be rushing, twinking or saving/loading to reset the inventory of merchants.
No offense.
