I don't think it's cheating. I pretended I was writing an essay on the legalization
of marijuana. I wrote marijuana should be legalized because there would be less
crime and the government could collect taxes on the sale. What it gave me was not
that impressive. It didn't really add anything that I didn't already have other
than suggesting I look for facts to flesh out my argument. If a student is a poor
writer it will only help him/her marginally. If he/she is a good writer then it
wouldn't be needed. JMHO

Reading is a means of thinking with another person’s mind; it forces you to stretch
your own.--Charles Scribner, Jr.
A cynic is not merely one who reads bitter lessons from the past, he is one who is
prematurely disappointed in the future—Sydney J Harris, journalist (1917-1986)
