Obviously it is possible/easy to make bot that mimics human behavior so 
well, that none of these gimmicks will stop it form attempting header 
injections.

But while the majority of the bots are dafter than that, the hidden form 
field with unique id can save from a lot of annoyance.

And once they all can pass a Turing test, well, I guess we'll be seeing 
helluva lot less of contact forms out there ;-)
