I would say yes we are too honest and this is a view I seem to be espousing at most home matches generally in the direction of either Dave Mitten or the fourth Official.
Maybe as well as being too honest our players could be accused of being a bit naive and of not being as 'professional' as some of the teams who visit Moss Lane.
For a player to go down when they have been caught, clipped, nudged, whatever you want to call it is not cheating. The person doing the catching, clipping, nudging etc. is the person transgressing the Laws of Association Football. The player going down, albeit sometimes a bit dramatically, is doing what they're paid for ie attempting to maximise the benefit to their team.Occasionally this necessitates a bit of exaggeration of the contact.
A player who throws him or herself to the ground when there has been no contact or who holds their face feigning injury due to alleged violent conduct is cheating and the Laws of Association Football allow for that player to be sanctioned with a caution.
I know I've been watching Alty longer than some but I can remember us getting many an advantage on the back of Jeff Johnson's ability to, having been tripped, nudged etc. somewhere near the half way line miraculously land in or on the edge of the penalty area as a consequence of a) his 'professionalism' and b) his unbelievable capability for unpowered flight.
