Seasoned wrong doers can get away with their wrongdoings hundreds of times before they got caught up in the upshot of their wrongdoings. A novice trying to mimic what seems to be the easiest act will get caught the first time he tries to do it.
So, it's rather a logistical problem than a moral one.
