Not semantics at all. The assertion was that because the rec center employees always entered the data they would be able to see who was “abusing” the system. I doubt it would be that simple but since the rec center employees DO NOT always enter the information they would not be able to identify “abusers.”

If I sit at home and enter the information then have my guests pick up their own passes the rec center employees don’t see a familiar face come in every third day. They might notice a lot of passes under my name but I can always vary the pickup points to avoid that.
