I dunno... I found his article through the digg site (which is far more interesting and, more importantly, more informative than their podcast) and watched the video of something similar to what he was doing (not of him pressing the buttons, just of what happened in the game) and I think he probably got screwed, but he was walking a fine line. It's a LONG explanation, but the short version is that all he had to do was hit a button every once in a while and he would heal himself and switch weapons so he could keep getting better with the weapon skills he was trying to level up. Basically, he could not be paying attention and still be gaining a lot of ground by tapping one or two buttons. Had he wanted, he could have probably written a few lines of code into his keyboarding macro software and it probably could have done it all for him. His argument is that since he had to press the buttons physically, he was playing fair.
Regardless of any of his claims, he was still manipulating the system to a degree. He claims it's not explicitly stated that he can't do that, but he was still gaining an unfair advantage.
