Cheating is when you skip a part of the process, and when the process is there to help you learn something then you're cheating yourself. It is the same as math teachers enforcing no-calculator rules. They weren't doing it to be pointlessly strict. They were doing it to force you to excersice your brain. You need to know the processes they're asking you to do. Once you know how, then you can use a calculator without missing out. Knowing the process is incredibly helpful in higher math, or in practical applications when you need to think of how to get to a desired result from what you have.
It's like going to the gym and having a robot lift the weights for you. Sure, the reps got done but you didn't actually get anything out of it. Is that useful or are you just wasting your time and money?
