Borrowing is cheating. Bot slowing isn't. And it can be easily argued the logic of point 3 in Siebel's blog that was referred to says the same.

When you add an upgrade you are modifying a game file. When you cloud restore, you bring in an external file that is different and changes the status of the game to give you an advantage. (The definition of cheating in point 3). Just because the change is a decrease to an in game value rather than an increase doesn't mean you are not benefiting. You have gained an advantage using an exploit and that is cheating.
