Earlier quoted context omitted.
Confirmed, much cleaner now — thanks again. Quick context since you clearly care about getting this right: this test is part of a bigger project, training a bot-detection model that currently has 22k+ verified bot sessions but only a handful of real human ones. Classic data-starvation problem: the model knows what a bot looks like, barely knows what a human looks like. Every real person who plays through honestly (li…
A few more comments: In the last test, 1->2->3->4->5 the lines are not aligned with the dots. Are you tracking the mouse? In the yes/no test I move the mouse to the correct position before the buttons appear.
On the mouse tracking: no, free cursor movement isn't tracked at all, the only pointer data captured is during active drag (touch/click-held), not hover position. So your pre-positioning isn't logged as a signal one way or the other. Fair UX point though: the buttons always render in the same fixed left/right position, so a user who's learned the layout can anticipate it. For this specific test the display window is long enough (2s) that it shouldn't meaningfully skew results, but it's a reasonable thing to randomize in a future pass.
Really appreciate the depth here,three rounds of testing and you've caught two real bugs and one solid UX observation.
