What I think that you don't get is that YOU have to prove that you're NOT a bot.

How do you prove you're not a bot? You can't prove a negative for the most part .

You know, I hear that thrown around all the time, and its basically bull. I can prove that the earth isn't flat. I can prove that I am not an 80 year old grandmother. I can prove that I am not African American. I can prove that I am not female. I can prove that I don't weigh less than 160 pounds. I can prove that I am not a doctor, a teacher, a magician, or a professional wrestler.

So, umm, you can prove a negative.

Bolded important part. You can prove most of those negatives you mentioned, except the last sentance.

How about this, prove you are not a shoplifter.

Honestly, I can't prove I'm not a bot. (Or a child molester.) Proving a negative is not only inherently harder, but to expect someone to do so is a logical fallacy.
