Query for you: All airplanes are not seaplanes, but are all seaplanes airplanes? Will the answer to this query help CAPTCHA decide if you're a bot or a human being? hCaptcha thinks so! On their images captcha, they have one that asks users to mark seaplanes. The grid displayed also has other airplanes, but they are quite easy to differentiate. No dramas. They also have a CAPTCHA that asks users to mark airplanes from the images on the grid. They have a couple of seaplanes thrown into this grid. Do I mark the seaplanes as airplanes also? After all, the seaplanes also do fly up in the air don't they?! I've always left out the seaplanes when marking airplanes on the CAPTCHA grid and have never been rejected as a bot. Have you ever faced this dilemma?

Captcha is stupid.
