You are missing the way people break captchas... it is not because they have super cool software that can read the captcha, have a huge database of hashed portions of a particular captcha softwares library or make blind random attempts that would set off any simple limits ( although some have 1 and 2 ) it is because they build technology that sends the webpage to an outsourcing house that performs the actions remotely. I know of one with 200 FT employees each shift ( 24 / 7 ) that solve on average 4 per minute per employee.
