There is also something to be said about thinking of students as cheaters. The hardest exams for me were on manifolds at UW - we had a week to work from home, allowed to use course notes, old homework, and our textbook, but nothing else and no discussions with each other. Some problems were actually from the textbook, so I imagine they may have been assigned before and solutions were available if one tried to find them. It was quite satisfying to be trusted enough to work in such a setting and I prefer to believe that most other students (or even all) were not violating conditions as well.
Kind of similar to not selling DRM-free movies/music/etc since everyone would just copy them after the first sale if it is effortless. In a more perfect world all digital content is free to get once it is made and those who feel inclined contribute what/when/if then can/want. And nobody worries about their students cheating because these students understand that they should not.
