That's because reCAPTCHA is nothing to do with spam and everything
to do with character and voice recognition, which some software can
do better than some humans.

reCaptcha should never be used, unless what it protects is only
for the able-bodied.

Aside: is the server open source? recaptcha.net doesn't have an
obvious link.
