"You cheated!"

A couple of days ago I talked about how people sometimes compliment me about how accurate my paintings look. Another interesting occurance is how these people respond after finding out that I use an opaque projector. They often remark that I "cheated", and seem like they feel "lied to".
This again goes back to what I was saying about how some people see art as simply a contest of getting it to look at much like the subject as possible, without, of course, "cheating."
