I wouldn't completely agree with that statement. If you have a decent human player - such as someone who is/was on a basketball or baseball team - then yes, I can see them being able to accurately throw poof balls into a 2 or 3 foot wide opening from 30 feet away. Or think of it this way: in 2004 the human players had to throw the heavy 13" playground balls into 30" wide goals about 20 feet away. We had an awesome human player that year, who was able to make about 95% of all the shots she made.

So yes, I would say it is possible to have an accurate human player loaded robot from 30 feet away.
