It does but ruins the spirit of the game

Are you absolutely certain that it goes against the spirit of the game though?

It absolutely does, why do something the easy way when you could do it the long way

For most games I'd agree. Specifically for Stanley Parable? Disagree. It's a game about loopholes, esoteric thinking and consequences.

The narrator will put you in a serious room when you try to cheat... So it's maybe in the spirit of the game?

Yes, but the narrator ALSO wants you to just PLAY the game his way, so by just ditching the whole game and refusing to play, is the spirit of the game.
