Words have meaning. Milking the system is a phrase used to disparage. It is not the functional equivalent of "being efficient."When did I say cheating? Yes they are using the system effectively, people will say that in their own way but this nitpicking of words is ridiculous.
Here's an example of what people use that phrase to mean:

If you look up "milking the system synonym" you get "gaming the system." Gaming the system is a form of cheating.
