Which of these is cheating?

OTOH, jet pilots pitch to the glideslope, power to the airspeed...the way
the autopilot (with speed control) does it. There is a difference between
high drag/low power available and low drag/high power available.

For example, lately I've had a tendency to adjust climb or descent
rates (and altitude to a lesser extent) by making thrust adjustments,
rather than changes in pitch. I seem to recall someone telling me
that this was legitimate, but now I can't find the reference.

In general, you're on the right track. Power is altitude; pitch is
airspeed.
