  I have assumed that because Angela must be visually rendered in a browser, it is better at detecting a human “hit”from a bot, ping or track back.

  @dlager: Quoting wank from the thread timethief linked to:

  I don’t know why they can’t just use a blank spacer gif like normal people. Everyone using the stats plugin knows that an image is being served and monitored, so it doesn’t have to be visible.

  An image can be loaded but be blank, transparent, or even hidden.
