Neither are cheating and neither are illegal. No extra $$ went in the final pot, no rules were broken. He simply verbally stated something to the table. Ice's move creates a doubt in the player's mind, as it was intended to do. His opponent is now forced to think "Hmmm, seems strong but maybe he is just projecting strength but maybe he knows that I know he is projecting strength......yaddah yaddah yaddah". He has used his knowledge of the rules to cause his opponent to think a little harder about his decision.
Slowrolling on the other hand serves ZERO purpose other than to be a doosh.
