You can't "prove" that something is easy
You can. Use Cheat Engine at least to show me you are able to cheat with it.
A) that wouldn't prove it is easy because I am not a typical computer user and can do things above and beyond what most can. Of course I could use it but I claim it doesn't take any great skill or talent to use it and I have no reason to use it. B) how exactly would I "show you"? You expect me to record video of myself using something like that and upload somewhere? Not gonna happen. C) I don't want to cheat scores (or anything else for that matter) because I'm a skilled individual, not a cheater, and that would prove what, exactly? Me and @LiquidFire have made it clear exactly why we don't use programs like that -- because it would be lame and also unfair to others in addition to there's no reason to do it. No benefit. So why in the world would one of us cheat to "prove" something that wouldn't even prove anyway?
Again, in science, we don't tend to "prove" things so much as base things on the evidence. And the evidence would be that most people learn how to tie their shoelaces as children, thus we can conclude it isn't difficult.
Who is "we"? A group of scientists unfamiliar with statistical proofs?
We, the educated. No scientist is going to speak in terms of "proving" things beyond mathematical proofs. Scientists are going to speak in terms of evidence. This is why we have many scientific theories and not proofs. Theory of gravity and not proof of gravity, or do you not believe in gravity?
The people who speak in terms of proofs (other than mathematical proofs) are not scientists and tend to be uneducated and more often than not, although not always, highly religious. This is why their favorite thing to do is ask scientists for proof of evolution or proof of global warming or proof of any number of other things, to which scientists never claimed proof anyway. We only claim evidence and draw conclusions from that.
You cannot prove things with statistics. You can only show probabilities. If something has a 90% chance of being true, you still have not "proved" it to be true.
Also you make an extraordinary claim then fail to back it up with evidence and instead shift the burden of proof onto the other group. That's not how science works. You don't get to claim Cheat Engine is "hard" and then demand your opposition prove the opposite. Burden of proof is on you. I have presented evidence Cheat Engine does not require any great skill, as those with great skills consider it a joke and would not bother with it. You have presented no evidence it requires any special skill at all.
Again, tying shoelaces is something which must be learned and is arguably a skill, but it's not a great skill and is common enough nearly anyone could learn to do it. Same with Cheat Engine or similar. If you have the skills you're not going to be using other people's programs to do things like that, whether your skills are in gaming or whether they are in programming/hacking/cracking. No seriously skilled hacker/cracker is going to be using Cheat Engine because what does that even accomplish? And no seriously skilled gamer will use it either. Your move.
