You're right of course. The thing is, if you allow unlimited APM, I think you don't need an advanced AI to win - you can have an algorithm implemented, that rushes zerglings and micromanages them to save any from dying and regenerating. So the human vs AI match becomes lame. Very subjectively, I'd say: limit the APM to something very low, below 50. You now change the game: it's no longer about making many decisions, it's only partially about reacting quickly, rewarding thinking through your decisions before ordering them. This would measure the intellect more than speed. BTW there is a mode in coop mode that AFAIR makes you pay minerals for each action, so such throttling is within canon ;)
