Is it cheating in an NES game if I inadvertently found out how many levels are in a game, whose manual does not display the number of levels?  I was looking up a list of the hardest games, to see if Battletoads was on it, and I accidentally saw that someone posted the highest level they got to.  I have not gotten that far yet.  Stupid question maybe, but I'm a freak when it comes to not wanting to cheat.

I want to be a dick and say that it's cheating but it's clearly not.
