Although some people still don't get it, the bottom line is always the same: you can't rely on a fully automatic method to evaluate intelligent entities which are aware of the evaluation method, as they are very likely to adapt to it. This is even more so when the automatic method relies on a data source which is not under the control of the evaluator(s).
