You bring up a good related point, although I don't care as much about the mouse and keyboard. My issue is with the UI. This is different from checkers or chess or go. The Starcraft UI is part of the balance of the game itself, so if you change it you are changing the game. People do this all the time to help humans beat other humans, and we call it cheating. Why is it magically not cheating if we do it for AI? If they do have to change the UI (e.g. hook a datastream directly into the AI), the opponent should be able to install any mods they want. Otherwise the AI is playing one game while the human is playing another.
