I think this is more of an opinion than a matter of fact


It wasn’t framed as an opinion. And even if it was, I’m saying I think it is wrong and I want to know why I should change my mind.

The fact is that CloudFlare distinguishes abuse (DDoS at IP layers 3 and 4) completely separately from bot detection. And it allows user controls to domain owners to allow some bots like Google Search Crawler.

So my statement stands: I want to see a citation of evidence that CloudFlare doesn’t have the ability to distinguish abuse.
