I actually think that more often than not you don't get caught.

I think it's "undecidable" because we'll never know how many do it but don't get caught.

The only thing I can say is I hope most get caught. But they're just wasting their time trying to fake value while they could be creating more value for themselves and others.

go try it, a statistically significant number of times, and tell us if you ever got caught.

That would only indicate my own skill or lack thereof at it (btw I think I'd be hopelessly clueless at doing it). You couldn't meaningfully generalize to the whole population.
