Line 9:
This sometimes takes the form of an admonishment not to cheat on an upcoming game/test/whatever, which comes so out-of-the-blue that it can only be interpreted as an ''encouragement'' to cheat. A subtrope of [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop]]. Compare [[Could Say It, But...]]. Take it further and you realize [[Real Life]] history is [[Written by the Winners]].
[[Super-Trope]] (at least partly) to [[Scrabble Babble]]. Compare [[Can't You Read the Sign?]] And sometimes the villain in [[What You Are in the Dark]], or the foolhardy fellow teenager in [[Youth Is Wasted on the Dumb]] urges this trope to encourage something actually wrong. See also [[Fixing the Game]]. Contrast with [[What You Are in the Dark]].
