      I’m guessing what they mean is: If the fun of making the bots is just chasing the thrill of “cracking the puzzle”, why not create a bot just to prove you can, then shut it down afterwards?
      And to that I assume the only answer is “because people are dickheads”

        Yeah exactly. I’m calling BS that the thrill of the chase is the main motivator. Maybe it is for a handful, but for the most part people just like to be dickheads.
