Supported:
- Small offices are more honest than big ones.
- Company morale is a major factor in honesty.
- Many people enjoy using the honor system.
Not supported:
- Unseasonably cold weather makes people cheat.
Brief explanation: Freakonomics uses examples (honor-box coffee, office-size effects, morale and social norms) to show people often behave honestly without formal enforcement. The weather/cheating statement points to an external factor that can increase dishonesty and therefore does not support the general claim.
