I understand that they are there so that bots can't repeatedly post, register, and whatnot.

What I don't understand about these little devices is why they are sometimes nearly impossible to read. The way I see it, a computerised bot can't tell if the word is illegible or not anyway, so why do it?

Maybe I'm just missing something, so can somebody clarify this for me?

As I type this, I had to refresh the capcha three times before I could read it...
