another bot technology (automated Poker Inspector)

Searching the archives for bot threads is much more tedious than it sounds. I did find the following thread:

But it still doesn't clear up my questions. The general consensus is that "bots destroy the integrity of the game." Again, though, I don't see how. Do you [who are opposed to bots] mean that it seems to destroy the integrity, and that therefore the fish will think other things are rigged? If this is not what you mean, then the argument is cyclical:
1) We must protect the integrity of the game by disallowing bots.
2) Bots are bad because they destroy the integrity of the game.
3) Goto 1).

This doesn't make any sense. WHY do bots destroy the integrity? If you think it's just because of irrational fish fear, then just write: "Because people are stupid enough to be afraid of bots" and I'll stop replying.
