It's a statement coders make that is saying "we couldn't find a way to distinguish between users and bots and so we've had to fall back on this method".
But they have found a way. This is it.
Given that a webserver can't telepathically detect a human at the other end of a TCP connection, because telepathy doesn't exist outside SF stories, any "way to distinguish" is going to require some kind of response from the human, which you will hate, whatever it is.
