There's a big difference between a perception of 'hitting hard', 
which is not dishonorable in and of itself, and a perception of 
cheating.  Big, important difference.  Someone who hits hard *and* 
takes hard is not cheating.  Someone who takes hard, and hits hard, 
but will tell an opponent "that felt light to me, I don't think you 
should take that blow" may be calibrating high, but they are not 
cheating.  If they have to be hit hard, and they throw light, and 
they expect opponents to take light, then there's a real problem.
And it's a bit hard to talk things like this out in the middle of a 
melee......
