My guess - this experiment has nothing to do with the clicks, but rather is trying to measure something else. Something like the amount of time people take on breaks, plotted against the amount of time people spent reading the instructions. Or something like that.

It could, for example, be used to demonstrate that people are more willing to reveal some private information if you make them jump through a few hoops to gain this "privilege".

Interesting idea, but if this was the case I'm sure they wouldn't bother writing javascript which ajaxes timestapms of your clicks to their server.
