I think my take-home from this discussion is that the honor code can be made to work in the right circumstances that exist, at least, at Caltech, Rice, etc.
At the same time, I believe it is impossible to induce the requisite "cohesion" in other contexts such as 100% remote learning or high-stakes mass testing (entrance exams etc.), even if the student body stayed the same.
