Perhaps we need to talk about what you define "cheating" as then. Do you consider taking steriods in the olympics cheating? Is taking a math test with all the answers next to you cheating? What does the person learn by doing a math test with the answers by their side when the finished paper has nothing to do with what they do or do not know.
You've now brought up skill which is going to get us into semantics somewhat, does drawing a car vs using a photo require more or less skill? Is an artist at the level of Thomas Romain going to have more or less insight into design and composition?
I am aware that there are those that use a photo of a car while being capable of drawing it which again brings us back to the time reasoning, something you've yet to address - If an artist is faster when not having to spend time finding reference then in a production environment there is no reason to use this method to produce the work.
I'm glad you're aware that you gain nothing from doing your challenge because that is true for everyone, don't think yourself above those when you're not willing to put anything on the line either. You won't say where you work, how much experience you have because you rightly have nothing to gain.
My answer to how it is cheating would be that its cheating yourself, similar to using a math textbook to help you solve the problems. What you're producing is not an accurate representation of what you know. You're yet to offer up what these methods give the artist that aren't better attained through other means of practice.

Do you have an email, a throwaway that I can send things to so I can understand where you're coming from.

It's the golden age disney luddite

you talk trash about anime like none of the animators know how to draw when only a few cheap ass studios produce things of poor quality. on average a japanese animator could draw circles around any western animator, you really have no idea
