stop acting more retarded than you are. When people say tracing is bad, they obviously don't mean stuff like this, you stupid shit.

Every technique can be useful.
Tracing is a great way to gain some technical skill as well as learn how certain things are formed better. Its easily to understand how something is drawn when you actually draw over it as opposed to just trying to eyeball it.

I quickly mock-up most of my figures in Daz Studio 3D and trace them.

Tracing is a huge timesaver.

Different strokes for different folks. If you want your figures to be entirely devoid of all life and gesture, that's your decision, friend. But yes it is a huge time saver.

Tracing for practice is fine, but putting it in finished pieces and claiming it's all yours is a whole different thing.

This is shit. Do whatever you want.

The problem with tracing for finalized work comes in when you become constrained by the source material. It has nothing to do with cheating.

No, but drawing class instructors will have students draw skeletons. How far you go with it is up to the student. It is usually a short explaination, and then an assignment that incorporates the topic. It is up to the student to do the research to effectively complete the task.
