I agree, if you're the best you shouldn't take shortcuts otherwise any victory is ultimately empty.
With regard to the refs etc. being on hand to witness the diving, well, they sometimes do but it doesn't stop a lot of players from doing it. I view it as the same mentality as a drugs cheat (of course to a much less serious degree) but it's concious cheating as is fouling a player you know you know you're not quick enough to tackle. Winning by purposely breaking rules isn't winning.
