Sorry, but that is ridiculous. The purpose of a game is to maximize your winning chances within the rules. Rules that allow winning strategies that you are not supposed to use if you want to 'remain ethical' just suck. You might as well say that it is unethical to switch one move before you would be checkmated. Or that in Chess it would be unethical to capture a piece that is not protected. If you don't make use of all conceivable methods allowed by the rules to win, you just don't know how to play the game!

As Canada Bill used to say: "It is unethical to not strip a fool of his money".
