Yeah, I got accused of cheating in economics at uni once because I didn't show all the steps (which I thought were fairly obvious so I didn't need to and some guy copied my answer word for word, must have looked over my shoulder).
The prof called me in to the office and asked me to do a similar type question which I did without showing my steps again and got it right, so he knew the other guy was the party to blame.
Still, I was pretty pissed off because he outright accused me of cheating instead of approaching it from the angle of "Hey, you didn't show your steps, why didn't you - do this to show you know the answer" or even, you didn't show your steps, the question required it, so you get a zero. I wouldn't even care if I got a zero compared to being accused of cheating without any real inquiry.
