You're not talking about what I'm talking about. Right now it's  
apparently cost effective to NOT look at plots but to buy them blind  
instead, because the cost of having a few junk plots you have to  
abandon because the don't sell is less than the cost of taking the  
time to actually look to see if you really WANT the funny shaped plot  
next to the badly placed ad farm. If you've gotta bring in a human to  
fill in the captcha anyway, then having that human go "don't be daft,  
nobody's going to buy that for what we'd need to sell it for" and  
cancel out becomes cost-effective.
