I'm convinced the most accurate way to use a captcha is to assume that any user that completes the puzzle is a bot.

Well, that's just not true, is it? Try having any public form and you'll see tons of bot submissions, add a captcha, most of them go away.

I think Altcha is better, I have heard good things about them. And it looks easy to implement and can be selfhosted which is great!!
