You mustve missed the part where i spoke of consistency?

Ive played at the pro level. Nobody prefires with perfect robotic consistency.

I dont care if it takes 50 matches of data for the statistical model to call it inhuman.

Valve has enough data that they could easily make the threshold for a ban something like '10x more consistent at pre-firing than any pro has ever been' with a high confidence borne over many engagements in many matches.

Then all you need to do to fool this anticheat is to add some randomness to the cheat.

Then youve immediately made the cheater worse than the best players to blend in with them. Mission accomplished, cheater nerfed significantly. You wont even know theyre doing it.

You've made them the same as the best players. Otherwise we're banning the best players.

Good! Thats a much better situation than the one we are in. Thrre is a limit to how much damage a good legit player can do to the average player experience. Just the psychological damage a blatant or rage hacker does is immense. Kills your motive to play, makes you question others, etc.
