The problem is poorly phrased. As you point out, it has nothing to do with bots or humans. There's still benefit to inhibiting rings of users (real or otherwise) that frequently vote together. Maybe some kind of diminishing returns?

Solves the problem for both bots and humans... and androids... and any other Internet-using life forms. 'Cause really, I know the human power users are 50 times more traffic-gaming than the "spammers" or "bots" this problem addresses.
