Making profit should be about convincing the user of the value of the product, so that they willingly give you stuff. It shouldn't be about tricking users into giving you something.

i experienced this when I was registering, keyboard input would not register until after 5-10 presses, then buffer filled up and spit it all out with multiple key presses in the input box.
This looks like the same scenario as the car engines - mechanics adapted - those who didn't - perished. Same will happen here, if this works, rest of the industry will follow and everyone who tweaks has to adapt(invent new tools to fix) or perish. The industry would like it to perish so more $ in their pocket.
