You're still wrong. Different kettle of fish doesn't mean wrong, just different. Returning items within the store's stated and advertised policy and the law is not INHERENTLY illegitimate, gaming the system, unethical or in any other way wrong by any understandable meanings of the words.
I acknowledge that a policy can be abused, and one can find ways to do wrong with it. Buying a TV to watch the Superbowl with the intent of returning it is wrong.
Buying a TV, watching the Superbowl, realizing you're not happy with the set, and returning it is NOT wrong, if that's allowed by the policy of the store.
The store may suspect you of the former even if you're not guilty of it, and may decide at some point to cut you off, but that doesn't make what you did wrong.
