But that's exactly my point, we're not in agreement about if they're bots or not.

Obviously it doesn't come down to you or I as to if these accounts get banned, but how can SE ban accounts for botting if there is any doubt as to if they actually are bots?

I certainly wouldn't want them banning accounts just because people walked in a straight line from node to node and didn't fly... Just because you do things a certain way, or even the most efficient way, doesn't mean the rest of us do it the same way.
