Who said that this is automated?  If enough LIRs give me 50 EUR/month,
I can hire a few students who will sit there all day waiting for
confirmation requests and dutifully do (as humans) what they are
expected to do.

You do not seem to be willing to listen: what you propose is sheer and 
uncalled-for extra annoyance for the vast majority of LIRs, and will 
do *nothing* to improve abuse handling.  All it will do is ensure that 
someone wastes a few minutes of human lifetime on your challenge.

And *that* can be nicely outsourced.
