but us humans aren't truly random, we probably behave in similar ways to each other, but also have individual 'fingerprints'. like the time it takes between keystrokes, or the length of time we spend holding the button on the mouse down while clicking. we could probably come up with a way of identifying someone based only on that kind of data. what was i talking about?

Not without enough context to know what time of day, if the person is ill, or a ton of other things that would make someone respond differently at different points in time.

The anti bot stuff is going to be looking for too much consistency, which is hard look for on its own before trying to look for some kind of 'fingerprint'
