The statements are not contradictory - they can have a superior api which doesn't permit 'cheating'. For example they could expose c++ api rather than a lua api for performance concerns. Furthermore some of the api calls (e.g

An enhancement to this method which I've seen is to check the edges of the rectangle for colour boundaries, and also check single random point inside. Presumably you can extend to n x n rectangles and k points inside as a function of n
