I would wonder if this could also be used as a kind of tripwire, where legitimate users won't present CAPCHA tokens, etc. But fake connections will.

I have no clue if this worked at all, but in college I made a site that had a checkbox that said “check this box if you’re human” and then hid it with bizarre CSS. If they checked the box, we errored out. I didn’t really do telemetry at all, so no clue if that worked at all, but yeah, I’ve had the same thought!
