Not even close to true. Internal investigations have access to the entire database as well as mouse movements/whatever else the client may be recording.

The site may have access to the most efficient tools, but 3rd party watchdogs keep them honest.

Many 3rd parties are going to try to exploit the bots themselves. Overall I don't really think that datamining (on a large scale) is ultimately good for the game (irrespective of the bots it may catch). Keep the pressure on the sites to do their own policing.
