MWD is very keen on cheese metaphors and analogies. She likens cheese to nourishment and cheaters as looking for nourishment. They are like rats running up and down cheeseless tunnels.
Don't confuse cheese and cake.
Cake is what we want as a pleasure, it's sweet tasty and full of yummies, Cake is to be enjoyed in plentiful helpings unlike shite sandwiches that the LBS gets delivered with the milk every morning. That's on special order.
All cheaters adore cake especially double helpings, they keep you baking forever.
Cheese is nourishment unlike cake which is good but fattening and rots teeth.
Cheese is the absolute food of mice and rats, trouble is cheese is provided to oneself, it's the nourishment of the soul and can only be provided by ones own efforts. No one can give you cheese, not even the blue veined smelly sort like Gorgonezola. It has to be earned and it isn't found in tunnels (that's a Freudian thing in case no one has guessed yet). It certainly isn't found in artificial online tunnels, where you pay for the privilege of fictional tunnels which you can't even touch (let alone find cheese in).
My theory is that these cheaters are really holograms themselves looking for cheese in tunnels (cake is a temporary substitute) and they can't find the cheese because they don't have the circuitry. Cheese can only be found by real people going to real shops and paying with real cash that has been really earned. That is by being a decent human being who gives a damn about others.
Some rats are happy to live on cake, they can't be bothered with tunnels. Sadly I think you landed a rat that likes searching for cheese whilst eating cake.
My thoughts are he hasn't the capacity to figure that the path he is on is really a cheeseless tunnel.
