In this particular case anything hooking itself into game code is considered cheating.

  Ah, so it's considered a "bot" because the game is expecting something to reach the display before a human responded? The card isn't doing any network input, so something must be checking if the state was blitted before the human response...(?!)

    It's considered a "bot" because it injects its own code into the game itself, which is what cheats do.

    It's not considered bot or anything. It's just Valve forbids any software signed or unsigned to mess with game executable, data or memory without being specifically whitelisted. Why? Because even if software doing this is legitimate it's can still be used by actual cheaters by patching it.

      It’s a nice clear line in the sand. The program is a black box. Do not inspect or augment it.

    Wall hacks are also a type of cheating that doesn't require changing your communication to the server
