Default Re: My Report on shortstacking bots NL500-NL2000

Some editorial comments on the bots issue:

It seems that seeing bots has replaced believing online poker is rigged as an indicator of paranoia. I don't deny bots exist, just point out that what people see is a reflection of how their mind works.

Convicting people of botting without the ability to see the evidence (I'm specifically referring to a recent FTP case) is a recipe for false convictions. Remember how WPEX convicted someone of botting, and it turned out he was just using AHK or something? Even in the US legal system, with the right to see evidence and face your accuser, and a nominal "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" standard, false convictions are common. E.g hundreds have been acquitted because of DNA evidence, from the small percentage of where such an acquittal was possible (e.g. still in jail, DNA evidence exists, etc.).
