Nah, a proper anecdote should end with 'and you could check a one checkbox at the gov site and instead of the scan you would receive the 'printed' PDF/A with the text layer intact'.
But yeah, there is always a way to optimize. Even if making a clean room implementation (ie not looking at the source of that DOOM captcha) you can easily narrow down a recognition to a couple of 2x2 blocks and just pattern match them against a known background (ie not a monster).
