At what stage is this cheating?

[simonmcg]

Hey
I was out yesterday and left a load of skin in glendo...
so i was looking at some things on the web and came across these... http://www.mammothoutdoor.co.za/mad-rock-the-finger-p30334.html
i am not looking to get them but are they not cheating a bit? sticky rubber fingers, next thing you know you will have climbing gloves http://www.mtntools.com/cat/rclimb/chalkacc/handjammies.htm
or am i just thinking too much and as my mate says I should stop wearing climbing shoes then?
