The way James Tour defines what constitutes cheating would make experiments into the origin of life literally impossible. He says that even stepping into the lab, or making a decision of what to put into a flask, is to affect the experiment.
So by definition all experiments are cheating according to James Tour. Even if scientists are trying their best to experimentally simulate a natural environment, for example by having a particular atmospheric gas in a chamber, that scientist will have had to make a decision to include that gas in the experiment, and so is now guilty of cheating according to the principles stated by James Tour.
