I don't think the captcha algorithm only wants to verify you can complete it accurately either. There are times where it seems like Google's captcha, and now CloudFlare also, have predetermined that you are a bot and they will make you complete challenges indefinitely to no avail. What's the point of a captcha if they are using some other metric anyway? Mobile nets, Tor, and proxies are pretty much unusable in certain places now.

It's all about not letting scrapers or bots know that they have been blocked, similarly to something like always failing SSH attempts after a certain amount of failures to prevent brute-force attacks. By the way I should say I hate CAPTCHA too, not defending the practice.
