Firstly, "Nerds" mean someone who is a bookworm, or has a deep interest in something. NOT necessarily are they "thin, outcast or something like that"! Its just that they have a DEEP passion for something. A burning desire, that's it.
Like any normal person, we can thus expect them to commit such unethical actions. Actually, more, cause they will do anything to achieve what they want.
I'm a nerd.
