Finding cheaters using multiple-choice comparisons

Based on the policies of the two universities at which I've taught, it seems like there's no possible benefit to admitting guilt. The only foolproof way to "convict" someone of cheating is to have (several) people witness/record the incident. If a student accused of cheating categorically denies everything, they're usually in the clear (although faculty will say nasty things in private).
Breaking connections to faculty has consequences, namely in letters of recommendation.
Letters of recommendation have almost no bearing on life. The only exceptions are for someone headed to graduate school, but at that point they likely have a pool of faculty members from which to choose.
