I don't think I understand how this would be the case.

Again, the problem isn't with spambots, it's about microworkers (or
Mechnical Turks) who are able to pass many spam-preventing measures much
easier. Especially if we tell them how they can do that.

Ultimately it comes down to telling apart a legimitate contributor and
somebody who fakes to be one.
