Then why not prove you can do it and then shut the bot down?

Prove I can do what?

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.
