I don't think that PragmaticPulp doubts that cheating happens. But "student tries to cheat on important exam" is barely local news, let alone global technology news.
The thing that got this to the front page of HN is the specific claim of a surgically implanted bluetooth earpiece. That is what PragmaticPulp is doubtful of.
Of course, if the claim was merely that the student was wearing a very small earpiece, such as [1], and that when told to hand it over he claimed it couldn't safely be removed? That would be much more plausible.
