Are you under the impression that morality/immorality only attaches to the legal notions of harm or theft?
Again ... I'm not trying to be the arbiter of what people should or shouldn't do--or what should weigh on their conscience or not. Maybe there's an argument that breaking one rule (that you agree not to break) is less immoral than breaking another. I'll not dispute it. But in general; deception in order to get something you want (but couldn't get without the deception) has moral implications. Saying you're willing to abide by conditions that you know full-well you have no intentions of abiding by, carries moral implications.
You (rhetorical) should be able to personally shoulder the responsibility for such actions without needing validation from others that it "wasn't so bad."
I break some rules. Full stop.
The moral consequences of breaking those rules are mine alone to shoulder/ignore. You can't absolve me/make me feel guilty. Full stop.
No "but if"s. I own it.
