PB is loads better than pretty much anything out there in reality. You can see that by the effect of the community. CS is "known" as a game full of cheats and hacks..thats its reputation now, all the games with PB have been pretty much restored so that there is no dominance of cheats. Sure there will be the odd one that slips through until its prevented like every other system out there, but for many of the games out there which were taking a downturn, its kept them alive. I'm not saying its perfect, every cheat prevention system has its downside (extra cpu usage, system probing causing crashes etc), far from it, but there's probably nothing else out there that I think has changed the attitude of cheating in a game as much, as well as dealing with people on a personal level and helping them if they have problems with it.
The fundamental side of it is simply that its in Evenbalances interest (financially) to do a good job. If they don't, they lose out in extra business as well. Pretty much every other cheat prevention system out there just ends up getting left aside for other projects or just relying on adhoc community measures which is never enough.
