I don't think you can apply a pure Turing test (human or robot?) to Diggers, because Digg is a highly complex system and you can't know as much as you need to.
But there are some things you can figure out.

oboy is not a robot, he's a real person and I don't think he does anything shady. Just a very active user. I usually digg over 300+ stories a day on Digg myself, but I'm not a bot... nor do I use one.
Digg is usually pretty smart when it comes to people who want to game them... they will get banned. Try hanging out at thedrilldown podcast every friday and you'll get to meet many of these super active diggers... all humans, no bots.
Ok, I believe you and will amend that, but 400 diggs/day? Seven days a week, no time off.
Ten seconds to navigate/look/digg/comment is over an hour.
And that is never clicking through, never pondering your reply, etc.
Frankly, I can't understand that as human behavior at all.

Sorry, fixed my math, 266 diggs/day.
